Lyrics of 'And Your Praise Goes On' by Chris Rice

The moon is high and the sunset fades

The lullabies have all been sung

We're tuckin' in another day

And stars appear now one by one

But the stillness moves and the silence yields

And not a single beat is lost

You can hear the chorus in the fields

Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on, rising to Your throne

Where You guard us while we dream

Past the stars they fly, Your praises fill the sky

'Til You wake us with the dawn

And Your praise goes on

Now bring your warmth, O morning sun

Chase the stars and the moon away

And wake us with your brightest song

And add our voice to your refrain

Now rise up everything that lives!

Flap your wings and leap for joy!

Oh forest lift your arms and sway!

Clap your hands you ocean waves!

And Your praise goes on, rising to Your throne

Where You bless our toil and play

Through the clouds they rise, Your praises fill the skies

'Til the setting of the sun

And Your praise goes on

And when my final breath You lend

I'll thank You for the life You gave

But that won't mean the praises end

'Cause I won't be silenced by the grave!

And Your praise goes on

I'll be runnin' to Your throne

With every nation, tribe and tongue

To Your arms I'll fly

I'll gaze into Your eyes

Then I'll know as I am known

And Your praise goes on

And Your praise goes on

And Your praise goes on
