About this Hymn
This song of adoration to our Creator was written for a conference on creation with Kristyn's uncle, John Lennox. Ironically, it was the vistas of the Pacific coast that provided fresh inspiration as we dwelled not just on the beauty of God's creation but on how all of it points ultimately to Christ and eagerly longs for his return.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Creation sings the Father's song; he calls the sun to wake the dawn and run the course of day till evening falls in crimson rays. His fingerprints in flakes of snow, his breath upon this spinning globe, he charts the eagle's flight, commands the newborn baby's cry.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing, "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship; tell the wonders of creation's King.
Verse 2
Creation gazed upon his face; the ageless One in time's embrace unveiled the Father's plan of reconciling God and man. A second Adam walked the earth, whose blameless life would break the curse, whose death would set us free to live with him eternally.
Verse 3
Creation longs for his return, when Christ shall reign upon the earth; the bitter wars that rage are birth-pains of a coming age. When he renews the land and sky, all heav'n will sing, and earth reply with one resplendent theme: the glories of our God and King!
