Write the songs of heaven with tunes from the Lord’s heart
Make it a delight to God’s ears, a blessing to his people
Let its words restore souls to the path of light
And its harmony awakens His sons as the day draws nigh
With the strings, tell of His holiness, strength, and might
Blow the trumpets, let it gather His children to the feast
Every heart will lift its melody,
And every foot will sway in synchrony
As the oceans go back and forth in worship
Sing the songs of heaven with voices like angels
As they resound over the mountainside,
And echo over the surface of seas and seas beneath
Sing into the ears of sleeping giants
Pull them out of the wells of despair and grief
Sing a new song, let it revive the bones of the weak
Let its keys open the doors of captives
As you hear from Him, write notes on the hearts of men
Go out with instruments,
Teach and tell others this command from heaven
A charge to purge hearts, to purify hands,
To cleanse and tune all ears to the Father.
