Lyrics

##Verse 1## Ohhhh—my Lord! The awesome wonders— The wonders You made—from spoken word— Soooo—in Your Holy word—every promise will be unbroken—every promise ever written or heard! I see Your rolling seas— I see mountains You dressed— And I think—the mountain of sins— For me—You forgave and forgot—as far as east is from west— I see every star— All—You numbered and named— And Your precious love—greater than any love—to the world—You have proclaimed! ##Chorus## Then sings—my heart—once lost—now found and redeemed— I raise—this song—in sunlight or starlight— All You made—then pointed every beam—And my heart sings—with all creation—to praise You—the Holy one. The only one—when all is said and done— The earth—every tribe and tongue—will worship and praise— Our hearts will sing—worthy is the Lamb—God the Father did raise! ##Verse 2## When I think—the awesome love—You did display— On that awful cross—my sinner’s debt—You did pay. On that cross—where Grace—bled and died—and took my place, Oh my Lord—my innocent substitute—I long for that day—that with You—I am face to face!! ##Chorus## Then sings—my heart—my heart once lost—you did redeem— I raise—this song—in sunlight or starlight— All You made—then pointed every beam—And my heart sings—with all creation—to praise You—the Holy one. The only one—when all is said and done— The earth—every tribe and tongue—will worship and praise— Our hearts will sing—worthy is the Lamb—God the Father did raise! ##Verse 3## Then one day— On the day—the trumpet will sound— The day—every believer’s grave— Flies open—across the ground— For that day—I watch and wait— To see the eastern sky— As our redemption draweth nigh— And You step from Glory—and through Heaven’s Gate! And our faith!! Ohhhhh—our pleasing faith— It will—be made perfect sight! And we will stand—all before Your throne— To sing with the heavenly throng— This our song! Where there is no more sickness— No more death— And no more night!!! ##Chorus## Then sings—my heart—my heart once lost—you did redeem— I raise—this song—in sunlight or starlight— All You made—then pointed every beam—And my heart sings—with all creation—to praise You—the Holy one. The only one—when all is said and done— The earth—every tribe and tongue—will worship and praise— Our hearts will sing—worthy is the Lamb—God the Father did raise! **Grand Orchestral/Choir Staccato/A Cappella mix)** And!!

Then Sings My Heart

Read together: Psalm 104:1–9, 24; Psalm 147:3–5; Psalm 103:11–12; 2 Corinthians 5:6–8

Some songs make you want to step outside and look up. This one does. I see Your rolling seas, I see mountains You dressed… I see every star—all You numbered and named. And every sight leads to the same response: Then sings my heart.

Read Psalm 104:1–9, 24. The psalmist describes God wrapping Himself in light like a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent, setting the earth on its foundations, covering it with the deep, and setting boundaries for the waters. "How many are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You made them all." Creation is not random. It is the wise, deliberate work of a God who speaks and it happens. The song's first line says it: the wonders You made from spoken word.

Read Psalm 147:3–5. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit." Notice how those verses sit side by side. The God who names every star is the same God who binds up broken hearts. His greatness and His tenderness are not in tension.

Then the song makes a striking turn. I see mountains You dressed—and I think: the mountain of sins for me You forgave and forgot, as far as east is from west. Read Psalm 103:11–12. "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." The vastness of creation becomes a picture of the vastness of forgiveness. The same God who made mountains moved our mountain of sin.

The second verse goes to the cross. On that awful cross my sinner's debt You did pay… where Grace bled and died and took my place. Oh my Lord—my innocent substitute. Creation shows God's power. The cross shows His love. And it is the cross that makes a sinner's heart truly sing: my heart once lost—now found and redeemed.

The third verse looks ahead to the day the trumpet sounds and every believer's grave flies open. Our faith—our pleasing faith—it will be made perfect sight! Read 2 Corinthians 5:6–8. Paul says, "We walk by faith, not by sight," and that believers would prefer "to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." Right now we see God's glory reflected in creation and revealed in Scripture. One day we will see Him face to face. Then there will be no more sickness, no more death, and no more night.

The finale builds to a single name: His name is Jesus! The song begins with stars and seas, but it ends with a Person. Creation points beyond itself to the Creator, and the Creator has shown Himself most fully in Jesus, the Redeemer God raised from the dead.

If your heart has not been singing lately, step outside tonight and look up. Let creation remind you of the God who made it—and let the cross remind you of how much He loves you.

A moment to respond: Tonight, go outside and look at the stars. Read Psalm 147:3–5 and thank God that the One who names the stars also heals broken hearts. Then read Psalm 103:12 and thank Him for removing your sins as far as the east is from the west.

Let's pray: Lord, when we see the rolling seas, the mountains, and the stars You named, our hearts sing. Thank You for removing our mountain of sin as far as the east is from the west. Thank You, Jesus, our innocent substitute, for paying our debt. We long for the day when faith becomes sight. Until then, let our hearts sing to You. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that every glimpse of God's creation would lead your heart to sing of the Redeemer who made it and saved you.
