Praise and Worship Songs Lyrics
CREATION SINGS THE FATHER’S SONG
Creation sings the Father’s song; He calls the sun to wake the dawn
And run the course of day ’till evening falls in crimson rays.
His fingerprints in flakes of snow, His breath upon this spinning globe,
He charts the eagle’s flight; commands the newborn baby’s cry.
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
“Hallelujah!” Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation’s King.
Creation gazed upon His face; the ageless One in time’s embrace
Unveiled the Father’s plan of reconciling God and man.
A second Adam walked the earth, whose blameless life would break the curse,
Whose death would set us free to live with Him eternally.
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
“Hallelujah!” Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation’s King.
Creation longs for His return, when Christ shall reign upon the earth;
The bitter wars that rage are birth pains of a coming age.
When He renews the land and sky, all heav’n will sing and earth reply
With one resplendent theme: the glory of our God and King!
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
“Hallelujah!” Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation’s King.
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing, (REPEAT)
Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation’s King.
LORD FROM SORROWS DEEP I CALL
Lord, from sorrows deep I call, When my hope is shaken
Torn and ruined from the fall, Hear my desperation
For so long I’ve pled and prayed, God, come to my rescue
Even so the thorn remains, Still my heart will praise You
Storms within my troubled soul, Questions without answers
On my faith these billows roll, God, be now my shelter
Why are you cast down, my soul?
Hope in Him who saves you, When the fires have all grown cold
Cause this heart to praise You.
And oh, my soul, put your hope in God, My help, my rock, I will praise Him
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm, You’re still my God, my salvation
Should my life be torn from me, Every worldly pleasure
When all I possess is grief, God, be then my treasure
Be my vision in the night, Be my hope and refuge
‘Til my faith is turned to sight, Lord, my heart will praise You
Oh, my soul, put your hope in God, My help, my rock, I will praise Him
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm,You’re still my God, my salvation
Oh, my soul, put your hope in God, My help, my rock, I will praise Him
Sing, oh, sing through the raging storm, You’re still my God, my salvation
