Intro
Verse 1
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
More that shines in the night than just the m oon
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me wa rm
In a shelter that is larger than this room
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can s ing
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 that pulses in the ocean than the t ide
There's a love that is fiercer than the love between fri ends
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her sid e
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can s ing
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the giver of all good things
