Alan Menken
Psalm 8
[DAVID]
Lord how Your name shines in glory
In and above all the earth
Out of the mouths of
Mere babes, very sucklings
Your strength will flow
Thus we grow
Confounding your enemies
Right from our moment of birth

When I consider Your heavens
The universe You have ordained
Why would creation of man be of
Any concern to You?
Only through
Love can this be understood
And through mercy explained

And man is made no small thing
And whether slave or king
He is with honor crowned by God
He is allowed control and command of the whole
Of the works of Your hand, Lord

Lord how your name shines in glory
In and above all the earth
Human afflictions
And petty distractions
We must ignore
Rage no more
Peace comes to those who believe
God has faith in their worth
