Creation Sings
Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He calls the sun to break the dawn
And run the course of day
Till evening falls in crimson rays
His fingerprints in flakes of snow
His breath upon the spinning globe
He charts the eagle's flight
Commands the newborn baby's cry
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing
Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship
Tell the wonders of creation's King
Creation gazed upon His face
The ageless One who time embraced
Unveiled the Father's plan
Of reconciling God to 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
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing!
Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship
Tell the wonders of creation's King
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 glory of our god and King
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing
Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship
Tell the wonders of creation's King
Fill the earth with songs of worship
Tell the wonders of creation's King
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Let all creation sing
Hallelujah!
The lyrics of "Creation Sings" by Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team speak to the beauty and majesty of God's creation. The song describes the various ways in which God's hand is evident in the world around us, from calling the sun to break the dawn to charting the eagle's flight. The lyrics also touch on the idea of redemption through Christ's sacrifice, painting a picture of a second Adam whose death set us free to live with Him eternally.
The song is ultimately a call to worship, urging us to join with all of creation in glorifying God. The repeated refrain of "Hallelujah!" emphasizes the joy and awe that we should feel when we consider the wonder of creation and the goodness of our Creator.
One interesting aspect of the song is the way it weaves together concepts from both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The mention of a second Adam refers to the Christian belief that Jesus came to earth to undo the damage caused by the first Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden. The idea of creation itself singing praises to God is rooted in several Psalms, where the natural world is depicted as glorifying God.
Another interesting element of the song is the way it invites us to see God's handiwork in everyday occurrences like snowflakes and babies' cries. This connects with the idea of "common grace," which is the belief that even people who don't know God can recognize glimpses of His character and goodness through the world around them.
