When Jesus went to Jerusalem town
The crowd rose up with a mighty sound.
They lifted their voices in one accord,
"Here comes the king, in the name of the Lord."
The Pharisees cried, "Master, do you hear?
The crowd is shouting that Jehovah is here!
Rebuke these people for their ignorance now."
But Jesus said, "No! (No!) If they hold their peace
Then the rocks'll cry out!
The rocks'll cry out!"
If we do not sing, then the rocks'll cry out,
If we do not praise, then the mountains will shout.
The earth will shake; the trees will bow.
We can't be silent or the rocks'll cry out.
Creation sings of the glory of God
The ocean thunders in wild applause.
The lily's sweet bloom and the sparrow's song
Join in the praise that goes on and on.
His majesty speaks from the forest tall;
His splendor calls out in the waterfall.
"Behold His glory!" all of nature shouts.
And if we don't sing, (sing)
If we hold our peace then the rocks'll cry out!
The rocks'll cry out!
If we do not sing, then the rocks'll cry out,
If we do not praise, then the mountains will shout.
The earth will shake; the trees will bow.
We can't be silent or the rocks'll cry out.
If we do not sing, then the rocks'll cry out,
If we do not praise, then the mountains will shout.
The earth will shake; the trees will bow.
We can't be silent or the rocks'll cry out.
We can't be silent,
We won't be silent.
We'll never be silent,
Or the rocks'll cry out.
