Whole Earth

Mist slowly rising

The veil gently lifted

Revealing the splendour

Of another new day

The valleys and hillsides

Are the prints of your fingers

All lifting their faces

To the call of your name

And I hear it beginning

A feeling arising

A sense of your presence

In all I survey

And the mountains and the hills

Shall break forth before You

With shouts of joy

And words of praise

And the sunlight that glistens

Upon the waters

Will lift my heart

Once again

And the whole earth

The whole earth will praise your name.

Flashes of scarlet

And glimpses of purple

Echoes of birdsong

And the whisper of rain

So intense an outpouring

Is bemusing my senses

Creation responding

To the call of your name.

And I hear it beginning

A feeling arising

A sense of your presence

In all I survey

And the mountains and the hills

Shall break forth before You

With shouts of joy

And words of praise

And the sunlight that glistens

Upon the waters

Will lift my heart

Once again

And the whole earth

The whole earth will praise your name
