All Creatures, by Rain For Roots (2024)

1.

Chorus: All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Each little flow’r that opens,Each little bird that sings,He made their glowing colors,He made their tiny wings. (Refrain) The cold wind in the winter,The pleasant summer sun,The ripe fruits in the garden,He made them every one. (Refrain) He gave us eyes to see them,And lips that we might tellHow great is God Almighty,Who has made all things well. (Refrain)

Draw me out with the morning starsWake me up with beautySprout a daisy in the yardEvery day remind me Chorus: In your love we are satisfiedOnly, ever always In the morning, in the nightOnly, ever, always You wrote the song that is in our heartsSong of joy and wonderEveryday is a brand new startHis love, it grows us younger Chorus You’re strong enough to take slow The sun, the moon so patientWe wait, we see your mercy flow To every tribe and nation See the beauty of the LordAs the sun expiresIn one day or a thousand yearsHis love, it never tires

Was it a bump? Was it a growl?Was it a thump?Is prowling under my bed?I’ve got a light but what’s in the shadows at night?Will I have to fight, alright, I’m frightened - I’m scared!When I am afraid, I put my trust in youI will lie down and sleep in peace‘Cause what you say is trueYou know every hair on my headAnd you are bigger than any monster under my bedSo when I’m sleepyAnd my closet is creepyI’m trying not to call Mom and Dad but getting weepyI will not fear for you say you’re nearSo I call for you, you always hear. God who watches over meNever goes to sleepYou know me inside outAnd you promised you would keep meYou know every hair on my head andYou are bigger than any monster under my bedWhen I am afraidI’ll put my trust in youI will lie down and sleep in peace‘Cause what you say is trueYou know every hair on my head andYou are bigger than any monster under my bed

Chorus: The heavens are telling the glory of God The earth declares the work of His handsThe law of the LORD more desired than goldSweeter than honey, reviving the soul.

If I had wings like a doveI could fly, I could fly If I had a room in your houseI could hide, I could hideThe swallow nests, she finds her restThere in the temple wallsBeneath your wings Your song she sings The Lord God hears her call Like a desert owl in the nightI lie awake, lie awakeLike a sparrow lonely on the roofI will wait, I will wait We run, we roam, You sing us homeWe fly back to your callBeneath your wings, your song we singThe Lord God holds us all. Hide me, hide meHide me in the shadow of your wings. If I had wings like a doveI could fly, I could fly If I had a room in your houseI could hide, I could hideI could hide, I could hide. Hide me, hide meHide me in the shadow of your wings. Oh hide me, hide meHide me in the shadow of your wings. ...in the shadow of your wings.

Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these starsThe One who leads forth their host by numberHe calls them all by nameBecause of the greatness of his high mightAnd the strength of his powerNot one of them is missing.Look up, look up and seeIn the darkness we see all of the starsConnect the dots see picturesThat whisper of He who made the starsChorus:Stars, stars, starsStars to start the worldStars to shout, to shout, to shout, “Christ is born!”Stars to crown him KingOf everything, the sun, the moon and the starsChorus Bridge:He calls them all by nameNone of them are missingHis children they will beAs many, as many, as manyas the stars, the stars, the starsChorus
