Highest heavens sunset sky
Ocean deep mountain high
Sing Your praises and can’t contain You
Every nation tribe and tongue
Every creature living thing
Bow before You and cannot tame You
How mighty are Your ways
How awesome is Your name
Your glory it cannot be contained
You were You are You always will be
First the last You’re so amazing
Glorious God of everything
For Your glory for Your fame
Every knee will bow at the name
Of King Jesus confessing You are Lord
You were You are You always will be
First the last You’re so amazing
Glorious God of everything
You’re far beyond all understanding
Measureless in all Your glory
God You were You are You’ll always be
Even rocks cry out
Even rocks cry out
Even rocks cry out Your praise
