Lyrics
Verse 1
In the morning when I rise to meet You
In the morning when I lift my eyes
You're the gentle light that falls around me
You're the first thought on my mind
Chorus
Let our voices rise
All creation cries
Singing out an endless alleluia
From this moment on
Join with Heaven's song
Singing out an endless alleluia
Verse 2
In the moments where You go unnoticed
In the ordinary day to day
Countless miracles of life around us
Point like arrows to Your name
Chorus
Let our voices rise
All creation cries
Singing out an endless alleluia
From this moment on
Join with Heaven's song
Singing out an endless alleluia
Bridge (x2)
Only a moment to live this life
Like shooting stars burning up the night
Till Heaven's opened and we arrive
In Your presence, Lord
In Your presence
Chorus
Let our voices rise
All creation cries
Singing out an endless alleluia
From this moment on
Join with Heaven's song
Singing out an endless alleluia
Tag
There's nothing better, there's nothing better
There's nothing better than this right now
There's nothing better, there's nothing better
There's nothing better than this right now
Verse 3
In the evening when I lay my head down
In the evening when I close my eyes
You're still the only One I wanna cling to
You're the last thought on my mind

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song frames a whole day around praise. The verses move from the morning, when God is "the first thought on my mind", through ordinary hours in which "countless miracles of life" point to God's name, to the evening, when God is still the One the singer clings to.
The chorus widens the scene from private devotion to all creation, calling voices to rise and join Heaven's song in "an endless alleluia". That imagery draws on the Psalms, where every living thing is invited to praise the Lord, though the song does not quote a specific verse.
The bridge adds a sober note about brevity, comparing life to shooting stars burning up the night, and it looks ahead to arriving in God's presence when Heaven opens. The tag, "There's nothing better than this right now", ties that hope to present worship. The result is a simple, repetitive and congregational song about constant praise.
