This clapping and dancing
this joy we emanate
for this is a day
to celebrate!
Beat the drum
watch, commemorate
don’t wait any longer
to celebrate!
Glorify, rejoice
let praise percolate
take this moment
to celebrate!
Let loose and feast
acclaim and jubilate
I can’t help
but celebrate!
This is the perfection of purpose:
that we each give and do
You are and I am
my identity is through you
This is the glory of grace:
that gift so freely consigned
I’m reminded with each blink
the majesty defined
Rocks cry out
and mountains shout
rivers stream with praise
Lightning flashes
thunder clashes
even stars do blaze
Forests tremble
sands assemble
and the oceans roar
I join creation
sing adoration
as waves bow to the shore
Let the letters and phrases and all of the words
that spill from my tongue and take flight like birds
Let them be
Let them be
graceful words
Let the things that I do, the actions I take
the pieces of me that I offer and break
Let it be
Let it be
pleasing to you
Let the sights I take in to my soul and my mind
the views that pass by the curtain of my eyes
Let them be
Let them be
all for you
Let the whole of me, the compass of my own
when I stand at your feet and your golden throne
Let me be
Let me be
faithfully good
Let my burden be light and the song that I sing
give life and love and shine upon everything
Let it be
Let it be
peaceful and strong
