Alma’s Refrain (Remastered)

[Intro] (Spoken with quiet confidence, over soft strings and choir) “You call for proof, But do you not hear the earth testify? Do you not feel the breath of life that God has given you?” (A single bagpipe plays a solemn melody, joined by strings.) --- [Verse 1] (Sung with calm but commanding conviction) By their fruits, you shall know them, The fields, the sky, the stars above. The power of God surrounds us still, In every breath, in every love. (Choral voices join softly, harmonizing.) Yet you deny, you turn away, From all that shines in heaven’s light. But truth endures, though shadows rise, Through faith, we walk and win the fight. --- [Chorus] (Sung with rising power, backed by strings and drums) The earth is a witness, the heavens declare, The Maker is near, His presence is there. The stars in their courses, the waves on the shore, Cry out for their God forevermore. --- [Verse 2] (Sung with gentle reverence, supported by piano and violins) You seek a sign, yet signs abound, In every leaf, in every sound. The truth of God needs not the loud, But whispers soft, beyond the crowd. (Drums begin to build, adding intensity.) You call for proof, yet where are you, When miracles are plain to see? It’s in the good, the just, the true, That Heaven’s hand is known to be. --- [Spoken Interlude] (Quiet, reflective, over a fading piano and string melody) “You claim to see clearly, yet you are blind. The hand of God has written His truth upon the earth, And all creation sings His name.” --- [Chorus] (Sung with renewed intensity, choir harmonizing) The earth is a witness, the heavens declare, The Maker is near, His presence is there. The stars in their courses, the waves on the shore, Cry out for their God forevermore. --- [Bridge] (Sung with soaring emotion, strings swelling to a crescendo) Faith is the proof, the light in the dark, The hope that ignites the coldest heart. Not in the thunder, nor in the storm, But in the stillness, His truth is born. --- [Final Chorus] (Sung triumphantly, with full orchestra and choral backing) The earth is a witness, the heavens declare, The Maker is near, His presence is there. The stars in their courses, the waves on the shore, Cry out for their God forevermore. --- [Outro] (Spoken with quiet conviction as the music fades) “Korihor, the truth is plain. You cannot silence the witness of the earth, Nor deny the God who made it.” (The choir hums softly as the bagpipes play a final, reverent melody.)
