Sooner Count the Stars

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
I could sooner count the stars
Than number all Your ways
Though I only know in part
That part exceeds all praise
As sunlight fills the skies
Your goodness fills my life
For all Your precious gifts
Receive my gratefulness

VERSE 2
I could sooner drink the seas
Than fathom all Your love
Like a never ceasing stream
Are mercies through Your Son
The death of Christ alone
Deserves eternal song
For such a love as His
Receive my gratefulness

CHORUS
No praise is high enough
No thanks is deep enough
No life is long enough
To tell of all You’ve done
No shout is loud enough
No words are strong enough
No song is sweet enough
To sing Your love

VERSE 3
I could sooner turn back time
Than turn Your heart away
Though the years go fleeting by
Your mercies never change
Before You made the sun
Your love was set on us
For all Your faithfulness
Receive my gratefulness
