The Porter’s Gate, Jon Guerra, Page CXVI, Audrey Assad - Declaring Glory (The Earth Sings its Refrain) lyrics

When I was young
You woke me with the sound of song
The wind and rhythm drew me along
I echoed in the hymn of the dawn
I turned, and turned
This dance that all the planets learned
In circles, 'round the stars as they burned
I praise You as I orbit and turn

Declaring glory, glory
Declaring glory, glory

The mountains rise
The forest grow before my eyes
The moments and the seasons in mind
Then turn again, embracing the tide
The waters fall

Their canyons cutting deep in my soul
I praise You while the rivers still roar

Declaring glory, glory
Declaring glory, glory

New life begins
Your creatures dance across my skin
Like me, they have Your Spirit within
But soon they fade away as I spin
They fall to dust
And dress me in decay and rust
Their secrets bury deep in my crust
I praise You in the layers of dust

Declaring glory, glory
Declaring glory, glory

All the rocks wear down
Beneath passing of the crowds
The rivers run until they run out
I praise You till my fire's run out
I praise You till my fire's run out
I praise You till my fire's run out

I'll praise my Maker in every age
I'll praise my Maker in every age
I'll praise my Maker in every age
(Glory, glory)
I'll praise my Maker in every age
(Glory, glory)

Glory (Ooh, oh) glory
Glory (Mm)
