A Chamber Above Cosmic Waters Lyrics

Lord, my God, you are great indeed!
You are clothed with majesty and splendor
Robed in light as with a cloak
You spread out the heavens like a tent

Setting the beams of your chambers upon the waters
You make the clouds your chariot
Traveling on the wings of the wind
You make the winds your messengers
Flaming fire, your ministers

You fixed the earth on its foundation
So it can never be shaken
The deeps covered it like a garment
Above the mountains stood the waters
At your rebuke they took flight
At the sound of your thunder they fled
They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys
To the place you had fixed for them
You set a limit they cannot pass
Never again will they cover the earth
You made springs flow in wadies
That wind among the mountains
They give drink to every beast of the field
Here wild asses quench their thirst
Beside them the birds of heaven nest
Among the branches they sing

You water the mountains from your chambers
From the fruit of your labor the earth abounds
You make the grass grow for the cattle
And plants for people's work
To bring forth food from the earth
Wine to gladden their hearts
Oil to make their faces shine
And bread to sustain the human heart
