Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
   DmDm        C majorC       DmDm        A augmentedA
From desert cliff and mountaintop we trace the wide de-sign,
DmDm          C majorC       A augmentedA
Strike-slip fault and overthrust and syn and anti-cline
  DmDm      C majorC       DmDm       A augmentedA
We gaze upon cre-ation where e-rosion makes it known,
  DmDm    C majorC     FF   G minorGm   DmDm   C majorC   DmDm
And count the countless aeons in the banding of the stone.
C majorC                   DmDm
Odd, long-vanished creatures and their tracks & shells are found;
   C majorC                 DmDm       A augmentedA
Where truth has left its sketches on the slate below the ground.
  DmDm        C majorC        DmDm       A augmentedA
The patient stone can speak, if we but listen when it talks.
DmDm   C majorC   FF  G+G      FF  C majorC     DmDm
Humans wrote the Bible...  God wrote the rocks.

Verse 2:
DmDm         C majorC          DmDm        A augmentedA
There are those who name the stars, who watch the sky by night,
DmDm       C majorC         A augmentedA
Seeking out the darkest place, to better see the light.
DmDm       C majorC         DmDm       A augmentedA
Long ago, when torture broke the remnant of his will,
DmDm C majorC  FF     G minorGm   DmDm    C majorC   DmDm
Galileo recanted, but the Earth is moving still.
C majorC                 DmDm
High above the mountaintops, where only distance bars,
  C majorC                  DmDm        A augmentedA
The truth has left its footprints in the dust between the stars.
DmDm        C majorC      DmDm       A augmentedA
We may watch and study or may shudder and de-ny,
DmDm   C majorC   FF  G+G      FF  C majorC     DmDm
Humans wrote the Bible...  God wrote the sky.

Verse 3:
  DmDm        C majorC          DmDm        A augmentedA
By stem and root and branch we trace, by feather, fang and fur,
DmDm       C majorC         A augmentedA
How the living things that are de-scend from things that were.
  DmDm         C majorC       DmDm      A augmentedA
The moss, the kelp, the zebrafish, the very mice and flies,
   DmDm  C majorC    FF    G minorGm     DmDm     C majorC    DmDm
These tiny, humble, wordless things, how shall they tell us lies?
C majorC               DmDm
We are kin to beasts; no other answer can we bring.
  C majorC                 DmDm      A augmentedA
The truth has left its fingerprints on every living thing.
DmDm          C majorC         DmDm        A augmentedA
Remember, should you have to choose be-tween them in the strife,
DmDm   C majorC   FF  G+G      FF  C majorC     DmDm
Humans wrote the Bible...  God wrote the sky.

Verse 4:
  DmDm      C majorC        DmDm        A augmentedA
And we who listen to the stars, or walk the dusty grade,
  DmDm       C majorC       A augmentedA
Or break the very atoms down to see how they are made,
  DmDm        C majorC         DmDm       A augmentedA
Or study cells, or living things, seek truth with open hand.
  DmDm     C majorC   FF    G minorGm  DmDm   C majorC  DmDm
The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand.
C majorC                DmDm
Deep in flower and in flesh, in star and soil and seed,
  C majorC                 DmDm    A augmentedA
The truth has left its living word for anyone to read.
  DmDm         C majorC         DmDm     A augmentedA
So turn and look where best you think the story is unfurled.
DmDm   C majorC   FF  G+G      FF  C majorC     DmDm
Humans wrote the Bible...  God wrote the sky.
