Not Silent

Not Silent

 

The heavens are declaring the glory of God on High

His handiwork is baring His glories in the sky

His mercies speak forth, unto all the earth

And the heavenly hosts reply

They call out to their creator bearing witness to every eye

 

Creation is declaring
I see the seasons wearing

A coat of colors theyíre known by
He is not silent, and he still speaks

Loudly and clearly in mountain peaks

In fields and streams and sky

And though you may not comprehend,

The silent witness is your friend.

Every man must answer why.

 

By Godís self-revelation each manís without excuse

Itís established a relation so every thing is Grace-infused

In His works we delight when we see with new sight And we fall in Holy fear

He speaks through all creation if we hear with listening ear.

If his light we do not refuse

He speaks through all creation in ever changing hues.

 

Day unto day and night unto night His handiworks all show

There is no speech or language yet every man shall know

Into all the Earth to declare His true worth their lines shall ever go

Itís Godís true revelation unto every heart bestowed.

 

Creation is declaring
I see the seasons wearing

A coat of colors theyíre known by
He is not silent, and he still speaks

Loudly and clearly in mountain peaks

In fields and streams and sky

And though you may not comprehend,

The silent witness is your friend.

Every man must answer why.
