1 God is our song, and every singer blest
who, giving praise, finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
give back to us the blessing we destroy.

2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save;
while praising him, we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
when Jesus leads us upward into light.

3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns;
who praises God all human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple, common ground.

4 God is our silence when no songs are sung,
when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
until we find again the voice of praise.
