Chorus “Cannons” Wickham (Children come to the front to meet with the pastor)

It’s falling from the clouds, a strange and lovely sound. I hear it in the thunder and the rain. It’s ringing in the skies, like cannons in the night; The music of the universe plays.

You are holy, great, and mighty. The moon and the stars declare who You are. I’m so unworthy, but still You love me. Forever my heart will sing of how great You are.

Pastor’s Pals Pastor

Chorus “Cannons” Wickham

Beautiful and free, the song of galaxies Reaching far beyond the Milky Way. Let’s join in with the sound; come on let’s sing it out As the music of the universe plays.

You are holy, great, and mighty. The moon and the stars declare who You are. I’m so unworthy, but still You love me. Forever my heart will sing of You.

All glory, honor, power is Yours, Amen. All glory, honor, power is Yours, Amen. All glory, honor, power is Yours forever, Amen.

Chorus 86 “Jesus, Name Above All Names” Hearn
