**The Mirror of the Sky**
(Verse 1)
The heavens aren’t silent, they’re shouting His name
In the breath of the wind and the roar of the flame
The invisible power, the hand of the King
Is written in every created thing
From the depths of the sea to the stars up above
It’s manifest in us, the mark of His love
But we closed our eyes to the light of the day
And turned our affection the opposite way.
(Chorus)
Oh, we held the truth in a hollow hand
Built our houses on the shifting sand
We saw the Glory, but we wanted the throne
We traded the Maker for things of our own
Now the wrath is revealed like a storm in the sky
When we change the Truth of God for a lie.
(Verse 2)
We called ourselves masters, we called ourselves wise
But the foolishness grew in the back of our eyes
Our hearts became darkened, our fancies grew vain
We looked at the Giver and felt only disdain
We didn't say "Thank You," we didn't give praise
We wandered away in a prideful haze
Replacing the Holy, the Uncorrupt One
With shadows and dust that will fade in the sun.
(Verse 3)
We bowed to the creature, the bird, and the beast
We sat at the table but missed the whole feast
So He gave us the lusts that we hungered to find
The uncleanness born of a wandering mind
We dishonored the temple, we broke every seal
Chasing the phantom instead of the Real
Worshipping gold and the work of our hands
While the Creator of All eternally stands.
(Chorus)
Oh, we held the truth in a hollow hand
Built our houses on the shifting sand
We saw the Glory, but we wanted the throne
We traded the Maker for things of our own
Now the wrath is revealed like a storm in the sky
When we change the Truth of God for a lie.
(Bridge)
(Intense, rhythmic build)
He is blessed forever! (Amen)
He is holy forever! (Amen)
The Truth is a fire, the Truth is a rod
There is no excuse in the presence of God
The stones will cry out if we stifle the sound
His power is leaking from every ground!
(Chorus)
Oh, we held the truth in a hollow hand
Built our houses on the shifting sand
We saw the Glory, but we wanted the throne
We traded the Maker for things of our own
Now the wrath is revealed like a storm in the sky
When we change the Truth of God for a lie.
(Outro)
The invisible things are clearly seen...
From the dawn of the world, they have always been...
Blessed forever, Amen.
Blessed forever, Amen.
(Chorus)
Oh, we held the truth in a hollow hand
Built our houses on the shifting sand
We saw the Glory, but we wanted the throne
We traded the Maker for things of our own
Now the wrath is revealed like a storm in the sky
When we change the Truth of God for a lie.
