[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm A
From desert cliff and mountaintop we trace the wide de-sign,
Dm C A
Strike-slip fault and overthrust and syn and anti-cline
Dm C Dm A
We gaze upon cre-ation where e-rosion makes it known,
Dm C F Gm Dm C Dm
And count the countless aeons in the banding of the stone.
C Dm
Odd, long-vanished creatures and their tracks & shells are found;
C Dm A
Where truth has left its sketches on the slate below the ground.
Dm C Dm A
The patient stone can speak, if we but listen when it talks.
Dm C F G F C Dm
Humans wrote the Bible... God wrote the rocks.

[Interlude]

Dm C F G F C Dm

[Verse 2]
Dm C Dm A
There are those who name the stars, who watch the sky by night,
Dm C A
Seeking out the darkest place, to better see the light.
Dm C Dm A
Long ago, when torture broke the remnant of his will,
Dm C F Gm Dm C Dm
Galileo recanted, but the Earth is moving still.
C Dm
High above the mountaintops, where only distance bars,
C Dm A
The truth has left its footprints in the dust between the stars.
Dm C Dm A
We may watch and study or may shudder and de-ny,
Dm C F G F C Dm
Humans wrote the Bible... God wrote the sky.

[Interlude]
Dm C Dm A
Dm C F G F C Dm

[Verse 3]
Dm C Dm A
By stem and root and branch we trace, by feather, fang and fur,
Dm C A
How the living things that are de-scend from things that were.
Dm C Dm A
The moss, the kelp, the zebrafish, the very mice and flies,
Dm C F Gm Dm C Dm
These tiny, humble, wordless things, how shall they tell us lies?
C Dm
We are kin to beasts; no other answer can we bring.
C Dm A
The truth has left its fingerprints on every living thing.
Dm C Dm A
Remember, should you have to choose be-tween them in the strife,
Dm C F G F C Dm
Humans wrote the Bible... God wrote the sky.

[Interlude]
Dm C Dm A
Dm C F G F C Dm

[Verse 4]
Dm C Dm A
And we who listen to the stars, or walk the dusty grade,
Dm C A
Or break the very atoms down to see how they are made,
Dm C Dm A
Or study cells, or living things, seek truth with open hand.
Dm C F Gm Dm C Dm
The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand.
C Dm
Deep in flower and in flesh, in star and soil and seed,
C Dm A
The truth has left its living word for anyone to read.
Dm C Dm A
So turn and look where best you think the story is unfurled.
Dm C F G F C Dm
Humans wrote the Bible... God wrote the sky.

[Interlude]
Dm C Dm A
Dm C F G F C Dm
