This song is so beautiful I just had to share it. Every time I hear it, I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God and His “grace beyond degree.” I hope it can be a blessing to you as well. Have a blessed Lord’s day.
Shall Forests Hide Their Beauty?
Lyrics by D.A. Carson, music by Geoff Baker
Singer: Bobby Michaels
Shall forests hide their beauty?
Shall rainbows fade to gray?
Shall mountain streams stop dancing?
Shall lambs forget to play?
And shall I keep silence at grace beyond degree?
Before the Cross
I count as loss
What once was dear to me.
Shall birds forget their singing?
Shall constellations stray?
Shall thunderstorms be muzzled?
Shall sunlight fade away?
And shall I keep silent, ashamed of Christ my Lord?
His holiness
And faithfulness
Angel hosts adore.
Shall flowers mask their colors?
Shall waves die in the sea?
Shall full moon turn to darkness?
Shall laughter cease to be?
And shall I keep silent by basking in his love?
I’ll tell his praise
Through all my days
And then in heaven above.

This song is a breath of fresh air. It speaks a powerful truth in a very simple way and the music/instrumentation is not complex or distracting from the lyrics/message. This is how it should be!
I Googled this song and found one CD Soundtrack available; however, the arranger has slightly changed it from the original. How would I go about seeking out the original soundtrack? This is a great and rare song for the Traditional churches. Thanks for sharing!
