And Your Praise Goes On Lyrics - 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 skies 

'Til you wake us with the dawn and your praise goes on 

Now bring your warmth, oh 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 your 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
