Even the Rocks



If Christ’s followers grow silent

Keeping their peace- the dumb devout

For if the people of God are quiet

Even the rocks will cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out


If the people of God are wordless

And if the prophets cease to shout

Even if believers should keep their peace

Even the rocks will cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out


For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; 

The mountains and the hills that before you  stand

Creation shall break forth into singing, 

And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.


Even if the preachers say nothing

Praise will rise without a doubt

And if the choir has no song to sing

Even the rocks will cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out


If the sanctuary grows soundless

Silence reigns within and without

One day if the righteous are muted

Even the rocks will cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out

Even the rocks Even the stones

Even the rocks cry out


Luke 19:40; Isaiah 55:12
