A Song of Praise



The moon, the stars; blue tinted light
 I'll sing Your praises in the night
 Autumn leaves; crisp, rivers flow
 Expressions of heaven's mere shadow

 Your glory is bursting at the seams
 Anxious for me to let it shine through

 Though I'm weak and poor I'll give to You
 From this broken shell, a heart that is true
 If it be Your will I'll sing out loud
 To bring to Your temple a joyous crowd

 Where the veil is torn, You're at the door
 Inviting Your people to come in

 Found in Christ, I'm known to You
 O Holy Spirit; guide me through
 Creator of all things old and new
 You are within me and I am in You

 Your glory revealed, who answer your call
 To love with the love that saved from the fall
