All God's Critters Sing Along

Verse 1

The bluebird whistles morning light,

The chipmunk dances left and right,

The otter splashes joy with all its might

In God's creation choir.

The deer step softly through the glen,

The rooster crows "Amen, amen,"

And every dawn begins again

With songs that never tire.

Verse 2

The tortoise hums a steady tune,

The fireflies sparkle like the moon,

The puppies yip a happy croon

'Cause God made them to sing.

The crickets chirp in grassy rows,

The butterflies drift as they compose

A gentle hymn the meadow knows—

A quiet offering.

Chorus

Oh, every creature lifts a praise,

From forest floor to ocean waves,

And every heartbeat's made to raise

A song to Christ the King.

From mountains high to valleys low,

Where rivers rush and breezes blow,

Creation joins in one great show—

Hear all creation sing.

Verse 3

The horses thunder loud and strong,

The frogs keep time the whole night long,

The honeybees buzz out their song—

A golden melody.

The sparrows hop in perfect beat,

The foxes trot with nimble feet,

And even worms beneath the wheat

Hum soft in unity.

Verse 4

The barn cat purrs a gentle hymn,

The salmon leaps with joyful vim,

The meadowlark sings out on a limb

To join the harmony.

The lambs all bleat a tender chord,

The turtles praise the risen Lord,

And every creature, small or broad,

Sings out so gratefully.

Bridge

From tiny ants to mighty whales,

From breezy hawks to fluffy tails,

Creation sings and never fails

To shout that God is good.

From desert sands to Arctic snow,

Wherever living beings go,

Their voices rise to let us know

God's love is understood.

(Final Chorus)

So join the choir, lift your voice,

In every moment, make the choice

To praise the Lord and shout rejoice—

Sing with the whole wide world.

Let every breath and every day

Be filled with joyful, grateful play,

And let creation lead the way—

Sing out, boys and girls.
