The Heavens Are Singing

V6

[Intro — Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, sweet harmonica, morning birds] [Bubba — spoken, male] You ever walk outside before the sun comes up and feel like the whole sky's got something to say? Well, David heard it too. [Verse 1 — Bubba, male] Morning rolls gold across the Georgia pines, Day tells day there's a hand behind the light. Night leans close to the stars overhead, Passing on a story without one word said. No voice in the air, no trumpet in the blue, Still the whole wide heavens sing of You. From the edge of the earth to the farthest sea, The whole earth hears the message rolling free. [Pre-Chorus — Darlene, female] The sun steps out like a bridegroom in delight, Like a runner rejoicing in the morning light. [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene, duet] The heavens are singing, glory in the sky, Every dawn is telling why my heart can rise. And Your words shine clear when the daylight's gone, Sweeter than honey, keeping me strong. From the stars up above to the truth down within, Lord, let Your light come shining in! [Verse 2 — Darlene, female] Your law is perfect, it restores my soul, Your witness is sure when I don't know where to go. Your ways are right, they make my heart rejoice, Your commands shine clear through the world's loud noise. They're more to be desired than a mountain of gold, Sweeter than the honey from the comb I hold. They warn my feet when the road turns steep, There's a blessing in the truth that I can keep. [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene] The heavens are singing, glory in the sky, Every dawn is telling why my heart can rise. And Your words shine clear when the daylight's gone, Sweeter than honey, keeping me strong. From the stars up above to the truth down within, Lord, let Your light come shining in! [Instrumental — Harmonica answers tenor sax, boogie piano and blues guitar] [Bridge — Organ softens; Bubba, male] Who can count the wrong turns they don't even see? Cleanse the hidden faults buried deep in me. Keep me from the pride that wants to take the wheel, Don't let it rule the things I say or feel. [Darlene — female, prayerful] Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart Be pleasing to You when the night turns dark. My Rock, my Redeemer, steady and true, All of my life, let it point to You. [Final Chorus — Full band and small gospel choir] The heavens are singing, glory in the sky, Every dawn is telling why our hearts can rise! And Your word is a treasure no gold could buy, Sweeter than honey, truth that won't die. From the stars up above to the truth down within, Lord, let Your light come shining in! [Outro — Bubba, spoken, male] The sky tells of His glory. And His word tells us how to walk. [Darlene — female, softly sung] My Rock and my Redeemer. [End — Warm organ chord and harmonica flourish]
