[Intro — Low thunder-like toms, Hammond B3 drone, lone harmonica] [Electric guitar rumbles; band waits] [Bubba — spoken, male] You ever hear thunder rolling across the hills and feel how small you are? Psalm twenty-nine says there's a voice greater than any storm. [Verse 1 — Bubba, male] Give the Lord the glory, all you heavenly ones, Give Him the honor that's due His name. Come with holy reverence, every daughter, every son, There's no earthly power that can claim the same. The sky turns dark and the river runs deep, A mighty sound rolls over the sea. From the highest ridge to the valley asleep, Hear the voice of the Lord calling over me. [Pre-Chorus — Darlene, female] Over the waters, over the rain, One holy voice that the heavens proclaim! [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene, duet] Glory! Glory! Let the whole house sing! Hear the voice of the Lord, hear the mountains ring! The cedars bend low and the wild skies roar, But the King of glory reigns forevermore. When the thunder is gone and the winds all cease, He gives His people strength and peace! [Verse 2 — Darlene, female lead] His voice breaks the cedars of Lebanon, Makes the mountain leap like a newborn calf. Even Sirion trembles when that sound rolls on, And the wilderness shakes beneath His path. His voice flashes fire through the midnight air, Shakes the desert of Kadesh wide. The deer bring forth and the woods stand bare, And His holy house cries, "Glory!" inside. [Bubba — male response] Not the storm, not the flame, not the towering tree Can stand above His majesty! [Chorus — Darlene lead, Bubba harmony] Glory! Glory! Let the whole house sing! Hear the voice of the Lord, hear the mountains ring! The cedars bend low and the wild skies roar, But the King of glory reigns forevermore. When the thunder is gone and the winds all cease, He gives His people strength and peace! [Instrumental — Growling tenor sax and stinging blues guitar trade solos] [Harmonica cries; boogie piano drives; brass punches the beat] [Bridge — Sudden hush, acoustic guitar and soft Hammond B3] [Bubba — male, tender] The Lord sat enthroned when the floodwaters rose, He's King when the last hard wind has blown. And though I can't command where the wild river flows, I'm never beyond what His hands have known. [Darlene — female, warm and clear] Give Your people strength when their courage is small, Give Your people peace when the shadows fall. [Build — Foot stomps, handclaps, drums and choir rising] [Choir — call] Glory in His temple! [Bubba — male] Glory to His name! [Darlene — female] The Lord reigns forever! [Choir] Forever the same! [Final Chorus — Full Holler Shakers, gospel choir, soaring duet] Glory! Glory! Let the whole earth sing! Hear the voice of the Lord, hear creation ring! The cedars bend low and the wild skies roar, But the King of glory reigns forevermore! Yes, the Lord gives strength when our knees grow weak, And blesses His people with perfect peace! [Outro — Band falls away to harmonica and organ] [Darlene — female, softly sung] Strength for the journey, peace for the soul. [Bubba — spoken, male] The thunder may roll. But the Lord is still King. [End — One warm organ chord, harmonica fades]
