Stanza 1
A purple sky to close the day,
I wade the surf where dolphins play,
The taste of salt, the dance of waves.
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs.
Stanza 2
A lightning flash, my pounding heart
A breaching whale, a shooting star.
Give testimony that you are
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs.
Chorus:
Oh, praise Him, all His mighty works
There is no language where you can't be heard
Your song goes out to all the Earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Stanza 3
Oh, cratered moon and sparrow's wings,
Oh, thunder's boom and Saturn's rings,
Unveil our Father as you sing,
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs.
Chorus
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and forever. Amen.
Stanza 4
The pulse of life within my wrist,
A fallen snow, a rising mist,
There is no higher praise than this,
And my soul wells up, oh, my soul wells up,
Yes, my soul wells up with hallelujahs.
Chorus
Oh, praise Him, all His mighty works
There is no language where you can't be heard
Your song goes out to all the Earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Thank you for coming!
