Everything Speaks His Name
This song had a funny beginning. I was listening to the radio when I thought I heard a guy singing, “Everything speaks her name.” I thought, “What a great title for a song!” It turns out, though, that he was singing, “Whenever I speak her name.”
I was thrilled when I learned the real title of the song, because that meant I could use, “Everything speaks His name.” And instead of a love song, I wrote it about Jesus – for all things truly testify of him. This is one of my first songs and I loved writing about how we can find God everywhere and in everything.

Lyrics
When I consider the rose that grows in winter
Or feel the rain upon my face
Or see the snow arranged like lace
I know Him better
When I discover a wild flower's color
Or touch a single blade of grass
Or hear a child laugh
Then I am surer that
Everything from the mountain to the stream
From the valley to the sky;
Everything, from the meadow to the sea
From the sunlight to the rain
Everything speaks His name
He watches over creations without number
And yet, He lifts the sparrow's wing
And dresses lilies in the spring
He knows my name
He forms a dewdrop;
His word commands the storm to stop
He makes the eagle free to fly
And paints a rainbow in the sky
All for you and I
Everything from the mountain to the stream
From the valley to the sky;
Everything, from the meadow to the sea
How could you not believe?
When everything speaks His name
I cannot imagine it was all because of chance
When everywhere around me lies the evidence
Everything from the sunset to the stars
From the ocean, to the shore;
Everything from the mighty King
To the tiny Babe
Everything speaks His name
