Job 5:27\u00a0 <\/span>Behold, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Job 8:8-10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out.<\/p>\n

Psalms 111:2<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 2:3-5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,\u00a0\u00a0if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,\u00a0\u00a0then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.<\/p>\n

Psalms 104:24<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 32:17-19<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u2018Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.\u00a0\u00a0You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts,\u00a0\u00a0great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.<\/p>\n

Psalms 111:7<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This song seems to search out things of God in a way that should move our heart, mind, and soul to humbly bow with raised hands and worship, honor, and glorify Him.<\/p>\n

God of creation, There at the start, Before the beginning<\/span><\/a> of time, With no point<\/span><\/a> of reference, You spoke<\/span><\/a> to the dark, And fleshed<\/span><\/a> out the wonder<\/span><\/a> of light<\/p>\n

And as You speak A hundred<\/span><\/a> billion galaxies<\/span><\/a> are born In the vapor<\/span><\/a> of Your breath<\/span><\/a> the planets<\/span><\/a> form.\u00a0 If the stars<\/span><\/a> were made to worship<\/span><\/a> so will I<\/p>\n

I can see Your heart<\/span><\/a> in everything<\/span><\/a> You’ve made, Every burning<\/span><\/a> star, A signal<\/span><\/a> fire of grace, If creation<\/span><\/a> sings Your praises<\/span><\/a> so will I. God of Your promise, You don’t speak<\/span><\/a> in vain, No syllable<\/span><\/a> empty or void,\u00a0For once You have spoken,\u00a0All nature<\/span><\/a> and science\u00a0Follow the sound<\/span><\/a> of Your voice.<\/p>\n

And as You speak\u00a0A hundred<\/span><\/a> billion creatures<\/span><\/a> catch Your breath.\u00a0Evolving in pursuit<\/span><\/a> of what You said.\u00a0If it all reveals<\/span><\/a> Your nature<\/span><\/a> so will I.<\/p>\n

I can see Your heart<\/span><\/a> in everything<\/span><\/a> You say,\u00a0Every painted<\/span><\/a> sky.\u00a0A canvas<\/span><\/a> of Your grace.\u00a0If creation<\/span><\/a> still obeys<\/span><\/a> You so will I.\u00a0So will I.\u00a0\u00a0So will I.<\/p>\n

If the stars<\/span><\/a> were made to worship<\/span><\/a> so will I. If the mountains<\/span><\/a> bow in reverence<\/span><\/a> so will I.\u00a0If the oceans<\/span><\/a> roar Your greatness<\/span><\/a> so will I.\u00a0For if everything<\/span><\/a> exists to lift You high so will I.\u00a0If the wind goes where<\/span><\/a> You send it so will I.\u00a0If the rocks<\/span><\/a> cry out in silence<\/span><\/a> so will I.\u00a0If the sum of all our praises<\/span><\/a> still falls<\/span><\/a> shy,\u00a0Then we’ll sing again<\/span><\/a> a hundred<\/span><\/a> billion times.<\/p>\n

God of salvation You chased<\/span><\/a> down my heart Through all of my failure<\/span><\/a> and pride.\u00a0On a hill You created\u00a0The light<\/span><\/a> of the world\u00a0Abandoned in darkness<\/span><\/a> to die.<\/p>\n

And as You speak\u00a0A hundred<\/span><\/a> billion failures<\/span><\/a> disappear.\u00a0Where You lost Your life so I could<\/span><\/a> find it here.\u00a0If You left the grave<\/span><\/a> behind You so will I.\u00a0I can see Your heart<\/span><\/a> in everything<\/span><\/a> You’ve done.\u00a0Every part designed<\/span><\/a> in a work of art called<\/span><\/a> love.\u00a0If You gladly<\/span><\/a> chose surrender<\/span><\/a> so will I.<\/p>\n

I can see Your heart\u00a0Eight billion<\/span><\/a> different ways.\u00a0Every precious<\/span><\/a> one\u00a0A child<\/span><\/a> You died to save.\u00a0If You gave Your life to love them so will I.\u00a0Like You would<\/span><\/a> again a hundred<\/span><\/a> billion times.\u00a0But what measure<\/span><\/a> could amount<\/span><\/a> to Your desire.\u00a0You’re the One who never<\/span><\/a> leaves the one behind<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
