# ALL THE EARTH [INTRO — fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft dobro, distant pedal steel] [LEAD VOCAL — quiet, reflective] Before I ever heard a preacher Before I ever learned a prayer The morning sun was breaking And You were already there The trees were reaching heaven The river found its way The stars came out at midnight And kept on singing through the day [VERSE 1 — warm country groove enters] Day pours out its story Night keeps passing it along The moon hangs like a witness And the mountains sing their song There's a sermon in the sunrise There's a whisper in the rain Every corner of creation Keeps on calling out Your name [PRE-CHORUS — harmony begins] I don't have to see the words To know what they're saying I just have to stop and listen [CHORUS — full band, rich brother harmonies] All the earth is singing Every sky is shouting Look at what His hands have made And tell me He ain't calling From the rising of the morning To the fading of the light Every day and every night The message carries on You don't need a pulpit You don't need a microphone His glory keeps on rolling To the ends of the world All the earth is singing And the message carries on [VERSE 2 — acoustic-driven, gentle electric fills] I've heard it in the thunder I've felt it in the breeze I've watched a little child laugh And wondered at the mystery I've seen the fields turn golden I've watched the seasons change And every time creation moves It points me back the same [LEAD VOCAL — conversational] We're all looking for a reason We're all searching for a sign [HARMONY VOCAL] Maybe we've been standing in it All this time [CHORUS — bigger] All the earth is singing Every sky is shouting Look at what His hands have made And tell me He ain't calling From the rising of the morning To the fading of the light Every day and every night The message carries on You don't need a pulpit You don't need a microphone His glory keeps on rolling To the ends of the world All the earth is singing And the message carries on [BRIDGE — drums drop out, acoustic + dobro] From the highest mountain To the deepest sea From the crowded city To the place where no one's seen Every tongue may speak a different language Every heart may tell a different story But creation keeps pointing To the same old glory [BUILD — harmonies stack] Day to day Night to night It keeps going It keeps going [FINAL CHORUS — full Southern-country band, big harmonies] All the earth is singing Every sky is shouting Look at what His hands have made And tell me He ain't calling From the rising of the morning To the fading of the light Every day and every night The message carries on You don't need a pulpit You don't need a microphone His glory keeps on rolling To the ends of the world All the earth is singing All the heavens testify Everywhere I look around me I can see the fingerprints of God [OUTRO — stripped to acoustic guitar and harmony] [LEAD VOCAL — softly] Day tells it to the day... Night tells it to the night... And the whole world keeps on singing. [HARMONY — soft] His glory carries on.
