[Verse 1]
G          Am        Em     D
Close your eyes, you little dreamers
G        Am     Em        D
Numbered as the grains of sand
   G      Am         Em   D            C                        D
Do you believe there is a treasure you can’t hold in your hand?
G        Am    Em       D
Stewards of My great Creation
G      Am        Em      D
I will give this gift to you
  G        Am       Em         D          C
A language that can speak your heart when words could never do


[Chorus]
                  D                 G            A
The melodies will give you wings to fly above Creation
    C              D                      G
Whenever you can’t find the words to say
   C           D                 G               A
So My child, I give this gift to you and all the nations
   C               D                G
So you can give it back to Me one day

[Verse 2]
G       Am      Em         D
See the child, ashamed and broken
G         Am    Em       D
Words can never come out right
G         Am      Em       D        C                   D
Dreams of failure dance in his head every single night
    G            Am   Em     D        G        Am         Em    G
But twelve words in a simple language suddenly make sense somehow
            Am        Em      D        C
That little boy, once shy and awkward, stands before you now


[Chorus]
                  D                 G            A
The melodies will give you wings to fly above Creation
    C              D                      G
Whenever you can’t find the words to say
   C           D                 G               A
So My child, I give this gift to you and all the nations
   C               D                G
So you can give it back to Me one day


[Bridge]
Am            Em           F                  C
Music is Your masterpiece, Your signature and smile
    Am             Em              F G
The glorious crown jewel of all Creation
Am               Em              F              C
Gave a voice and sense of wonder to this lonely child
      Am            Em             F G    Am
Whose melodies ring forth Your coronation now

[Bridge part 2]
        C                          D
And the strings crescendo like the sunrise in the sky
       B                                 Em
The percussion section thunders like the stormclouds
         D            C
In their wonder up on high
                               D
The brass is roaring like the mighty ocean’s tide
           C                       D
Creation is music, and music is Creation
        G                    A
All the earth, a symphony of balanced majesty
       D                   Em         D     C
All of life, a melody with four-part harmony
                     D
The rhythms march in great complexity
           C            B       C
Creation is music, and music is Creation, let it sing
