Praising Him

So will I

God of creation
That at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And flashed out the wonder of light

And as you speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapour of your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship so will I
I can see your heart in everything you've made
Every burning star
A single fire of grace
If creation sings your praises so will I

God of your promise
You don't speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once you have spoken
All nature and science
Follow the sound of your voice

And as you speak
A hundred billion creatures catch your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what you said
If it all reveals your nature so will I
I can see your heart in everything you say
Every painted sky
A canvas of your grace
If creation still obeys you so will I
So will I
So will I

If the stars are made to worship so will I
If the mountains now in reference so will I
If the ocean roars your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift you high so will I
If the wind will go where you send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times

God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failures and pride
On a hill you created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die

And as you speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where you lots your life so I could find it here
If you left the grave behind you so will I
I can see your heart through everything you've done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If you gladly showed surrender so will I
I can see your heart
Eight billion different ways
Every precious one
A child you died to save
If you gave your life to love them so will I

Like you would again a hundred billion times
But what measurement could amount to your desire
You're the one who never leaves the one behind
