Stanza 1 A purple sky to close the day,

I wade the surf where dolphins play,The taste of salt, the dance of waves.

And my soul wells up with hallelujahs.

Stanza 2A lightning flash, my pounding heartA breaching whale, a shooting star.

Give testimony that you areAnd my soul wells up with hallelujahs.

Chorus:Oh, praise Him, all His mighty works

There is no language where you can't be heardYour song goes out to all the Earth

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Stanza 3Oh, cratered moon and sparrow's wings,Oh, thunder's boom and Saturn's rings,

Unveil our Father as you sing,And my soul wells up with hallelujahs.

Chorus

The Lord’s PrayerOur Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,

your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

Stanza 4The pulse of life within my wrist,

A fallen snow, a rising mist,There is no higher praise than this,

And my soul wells up, oh, my soul wells up,Yes, my soul wells up with hallelujahs.

ChorusOh, praise Him, all His mighty works

There is no language where you can't be heardYour song goes out to all the Earth

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
