Lyrics
Oh-ooh, oh-oooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooooh
Oh-ooh, oh-oooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooooh
All creation speaks Your glory
Angels declare You are worthy
You spoke a word and created the earth
The stars erupted in praise
The stars erupted in praise
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
We set our eyes on You
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
Let our words be few
You give light to the morning
The waves of the sea bow before You
Stretched out the heavens and set them in place
Your wonder, Your glory displayed
Your wonder, Your glory displayed
Your wonder, Your glory displayed!
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
We set our eyes on You
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
Let our words be few
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
We set our eyes on You
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
Let our words be few
Oh-ooh, oh-oooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooooh
Oh-ooh, oh-oooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooooh
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
We set our eyes on You
We stand in awe of You
We stand in awe of You
Here in Your presence
Let our words be few

Meaning & Inspiration
The song contemplates God's majesty through the witness of creation. Stars, morning light, the sea, and the heavens all point beyond themselves to the Creator's glory. The imagery moves from the vast scale of the universe to the focused posture of worship in God's presence, where attention rests on Him and spoken words become few.
Psalm 19:1 directly supports the song's portrayal of the heavens declaring God's glory. The sea bowing before God also recalls Psalm 89:9, which describes His rule over the surging waters. The refrain's restraint echoes Ecclesiastes 5:2, where awe before God leads to fewer words. Together, these images present worship as attentive awe in response to God's revealed glory. The repeated chorus sustains that reverent posture, allowing wonder, stillness, and praise to remain the song’s defining responses.
