Then we should praise his name....
If the constant tapping of the rain
that beats against the window frame
drumming out a sweet refrain
can praise his name
If the pounding waves that hit the sand
going out to sea and back to land
sounding like a percussion band
can praise his name
If the rustling of the falling leaves
as the wind blows through the trees
whistling a tune so merrily
can praise his name
If crickets chirping in the night
birds singing in the morning light
and mountains bellowing with all their might
can praise his name
Then we who are called by his name
and washed in the blood of him that was slain
being reconciled must do the same
and praise his precious holy name.
