End of the Day

about

Tony wrote this late one night as he looked back over his day with the questions, "Did I please You, Lord? Did I do what You asked of me?"

lyrics

When the sun sets over the highlands
And sleeps beneath the sea,
When shadows stretch o'er the lowlands
And starlight fills my eye,
Then the eagle seeks his eyrie,
And the gray owl finds his wings,
And homeward bound my weary step
And the ending of the day.

At the ending of the day
At the ending of the day

Now before the breathing fire,
As the glowing embers burn,
I bare my heart before you
Like a rock to wind or storm.

And like the stone did I stand firmly?
Or did I wander soft away?
Have I done all, did I please you?
At the ending of the day.
