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
