The God of Every Realm
You are the God of the mountain high,
Where eagles soar and clouds drift by.
Where the air is thin and the view is wide,
And faith is tested, purified.
You are the God of the deep, dark sea,
Where creatures move mysteriously.
Where waves crash hard and currents roll,
Yet still You speak and make them whole.
The mountain speaks of Your majesty,
Unshaken, strong, for all to see.
A fortress high, a refuge sure,
Forever faithful, ever pure.
The sea declares Your boundless power,
Through every storm and raging hour.
It knows its limits, knows its place,
Before the whisper of Your grace.
God of the peak and the ocean floor,
Of every vista, every shore—
I lift my eyes, I bow my knee,
The God of mountain and sea holds me.
When I am high upon the mountain,
Or drowning deep in sorrow's fountain,
You are there. You do not change.
Your love is vast, Your reach is strange.
So let the mountains shake and fall,
Let oceans roar and heed Your call.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than You, O God, in faithfulness.
