Lyrics

Verse 1

Nothing, only silence, then God said, “let there be light,”

Land and water, beasts and cattle, sun and moon and day and night

Then God walked among His people till they scoffed and broke His Word

Yet our King is soon returning, once again to rule the earth

Chorus

And the rocks will cry out and the heavens will roar

And with glory and honor He rides on the wings of the storm

And the earth will bow down, all the nations will sing

Giving glory and honor to Jesus, the King of Kings

Verse 2

Ages passing, God of power, parted seas declare His might

Fallen idols, toppled giants, armies crumbled overnight

Though God dwelt among His people, He was hidden from their view

One day all will bow and tremble. His returning will be soon

Chorus

And the rocks will cry out and the heavens will roar

And with glory and honor He rides on the wings of the storm

And the earth will bow down, all the nations will sing

Giving glory and honor to Jesus, the King of Kings

Verse 3

“Crucify Him,” yelled the people, Son of God condemned to die

Spit and bruise Him for His mercies while His friends go run and hide

Though God hung there for His people, no one stood up for His name

Curtain ripped, earth quaked, sky darkened till He rises up again

Bridge

God is not silent, why hold our tongues?

The earth shouts His glory, our praises unsung

If mountains and sunsets and oceans rejoice

Then let us shout louder with unified voice

Let’s drown out creation’s great, marvelous hymn

For we’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb

Chorus 2

Rocks will cry out and the heavens will roar

And with glory and honor He rides on the wings of the storm

Earth will bow down, all the nations will sing

Giving glory and honor to Jesus the King

Chorus

And the rocks will cry out, the heavens will roar

And with glory and honor He rides on the wings of the storm

And the earth will bow down, all the nations will sing

Giving glory and honor, glory and honor,

Glory and honor to Jesus, the King of Kings
