No one taught You how to shape the world in existence
The only need, the power of Your word
A clamor in the distance took no toll upon the air
The baritone foundation of the earth became aware
You speak, and the mountains leap
The valleys bow
The oceans throw themselves upon the beach
They hear You sing. They hear You sing
The tidal draw of light and dark
The pearl of the sky to You does hark
Bring forth Your gleam in desolate place
Aria of lavish grace
Beauty on high
Loftiest of lullabies
Sanctuary built by song
To shelter and to hold
The rising fell, sonorous well
The melody of infinite scale
Your crafting skill, beautiful will
Matter made still, Your voice the quill
Hammer and nail could not build what
You alone sang into the world
You are the eye and the beholder
The one before and the one forever after
