Verse 1

A pearl in the red sea
A flower in the field
The changing of the leaves
You are in the clouds
The grass the distant hills
How could we not see

Verse 2

Poetry and prose
It’s in the shape the color
The smell of a rose
You left love letters
Written in Your hand
For the careful eye to read

Chorus

But we misread
And gave Your glory to the birds
We gave Your honor
To Your works instead
But we misread
And chased the sun
The moon the stars
To try to find out who we are
And from where we came

Verse 3

When the dawn breaks
In every sunset
The heavens they proclaim
In a voice that goes out
To the ends of the Earth
The splendor of Your name

Chorus

But we misread
And gave Your glory to the birds
We gave Your honor
To Your works instead
But we misread
And chased the sun
The moon the stars
To try to find out who we are
And from where we came

Refrain

But this beauty still will fade
All this loveliness
Is destined to decay
In a dying world
Even nature waits
for the glory that shall be

Refrain

On our way to death
We wait to truly be alive
To fall before our God
And cry Holy

Bridge

Holy
Holy
Holy
Is the Lord
