The Heavens Declare

I got this in the midst of some prayer and consideration while on the trip to Yellowstone. It's not finished, not by a long shot. Perhaps I'll post a link to a demo-style recording when I come up with one. In the meantime, I pray you are blessed by the words and the idea.

Piano intro

Verse 1:
As the world turns round
lost and lonely in the dark and cold
With no idea what road they'[re even on
They hunger for something greater than themselves
Something or one to live for
But still the rocks cry out

Chorus:
The heavens declare the glory of the Lord
The earth proclaims His name in majesty
Praise and honor to Him who made all
And for whom and by whom all was made
The angels shout strength and power to
The King of kings and Lord of lords and God of gods
And with creation let all humanity cry out
Cry out "Glory!" in the temple of the Lord

Verse 2:
As I walk down this road
Wand'ring forward with a goal in mind
But unsure of the path that will take me there
i hunger for something greater than myself
Something or one to live for
I lift my voice to say

Chorus:
The heavens declare the glory of the Lord
The earth proclaims His name in majesty
Praise and honor to Him who made all
And for whom and by whom all was made
The angels shout strength and power to
The King of kings and Lord of lords and God of gods
And with creation let all humanity cry out
Cry out "Glory!" in the temple of the Lord

Bridge 1:
And what is there in history
But Your will and Your glory
And what is all creation
But the revelation of Your majesty

Interlude (piano, guitar)

Bridge 2:
our lives were made for You
our every moment every breath
Every sweet, sweet breath
Exists to bring You glory
Life not with You in view in mind in goal
Is no life at all

Chorus:
The heavens declare the glory of the Lord
The earth proclaims His name in majesty
Praise and honor to Him who made all
And for whom and by whom all was made
The angels shout strength and power to
The King of kings and Lord of lords and God of gods
And with creation let all humanity cry out
Cry out "Glory!" in the temple of the Lord

God bless you all; may you rest in His peace as you seek His face tonight.

  1. Love this! The chorus, especially blesses me. Perhaps because Yellowstone is so close in my memory.

    I have created a new blog to express myself over issues that are too sensitive for my regular blog.

    I know how you have prayed for me, and I welcome those prayers.

    If you wish to visit the new blog, send me and email at:

    greenleaf.will@gmail.com

    and I will send you the address.

    God bless, my friend.

    Thank you

    p.s.: this goes for Kerry as well.
