The soundless deep is ragged 'round the edges
A rushing Wind is moving on the water
We hear your voice the universe commanding
Let there be light and all around is brightness
Chaos recedes to her boundaries
The morning stars sing together, together

We are what we are for the sake of Your glory
What we will be is because of your mercy
Speak forth the world, Lord and tell us the story
And let the redeemed say amen

The newborn sky is trying on her jewelry
A billion eyes are gazing up in wonder
One billion lungs take their first breath of air
And with their next they are singing

We are what we are for the sake of Your glory
What we will be is because of your mercy
Speak forth the world, Lord and tell us the story
And let the redeemed say amen

And in the east, you're kneeling in a garden
You shape the clay until it looks just like you
Breathing on us, we awaken to hear
Good. It is good, very good

We are from You, to You
Towards You, for You
To enjoy You forever Amen

In the Garden, on the Tree
Mercy offered full and free
On the mountain, on the sea
Shining in Your sovereignty

We are what we are for the sake of Your glory
What we will be is because of your mercy
Speak forth the world, Lord and tell us the story
And let the redeemed say amen
