[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There s more that rises in the morning than the sun
More that shines in the night than just the moon
There s more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room
There s a loyolty that s deeper than mere sentiment
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
D/F#3
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the giver of all good things
[Chorus]
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
And if I can t let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home
[verse 2]
There s more that dances on the prairies than the wind
More than pulses in the ocean than the tide
There s a love that fiercer than the love between friends
More gently than a mother s when her baby s at her side
And there s a loyalty that s deeper than mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the giver of all good things
[Chorus]
