Declaring Glory The Earth Sings Its Refrain

C


[Verse 1]
C
When I was young,
    F                G        Am
You woke me with the sound of song,
Em  F               G        Am
The wind and rhythm drew me along,
Em  F                     G   C
I   echoed in the hymn of the dawn,
C
I turned, and turned,
     F                  G       Am
This dance that all the planets learned,
Em  F                            G    Am
In  circles, 'round the stars as they burned,
Em  F                     G   C   C
I   praise You as I orbit and turn.


[Chorus]
          Fmaj7  Am7    G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry,
          Fmaj7  Am7    G  G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry.


[Verse 2]
    C
The mountains rise,
    F                  G  Am
The forest grow before my eyes,
Em  F                       G  Am
The moments and the seasons in mind,
Em   F                     G   C
Then turn again, embracing the tide,
    C
The waters fall,
     F                     G  Am
And carve their way across my soil,
Em    F                       G  Am
Their canyons cutting deep in my soul,
Em  F                           G     C   C
I   praise You while the rivers still roar.


[Chorus]
          Fmaj7  Am7    G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry,
          Fmaj7  Am7    G  G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry.


[Verse 3]
    C
New life begins,
     F                      G  Am
Your creatures dance across my skin,
Em   F                         G  Am
Like me, they have Your Spirit within,
Em                         G C
But soon they fade away as I spin,
     C
They fall to dust,
    F                 G   Am
And dress me in decay and rust,
Em    F                    G  Am
Their secrets bury deep in my crust,
Em  F                        G  C    C
I   praise You in the layers of dust.


[Chorus]
          Fmaj7  Am7    G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry,
          Fmaj7  Am7    G   G
Declaring glory, gloooo-ry.


[Verse 4]
        C
All the rocks wear down,
  F                G   Am
Beneath passing of the crowds,
Em  F                     G   Am
The rivers run until they run out,
Em  F                         G   C
I   praise You till my fire's run out,
Em  F                         G   C
I   praise You till my fire's run out,
Em  F                         G   C   C
I   praise You till my fire's run out.


[Bridge]
Fmaj7          Am7      C     G
I'll praise my Maker in every age,
F              Am       C     G
I'll praise my Maker in every age,
F              Am       C     G
I'll praise my Maker in every age, (Glory, glory),
F              Am       C     G F  Am  C  G
I'll praise my Maker in every a-age.
