Splendour by Quiet Science
Splendour
[Intro]
Em C Bm D
[Verse 1]
Em
A pearl in the red sea, a flower in the field,
C
the changing of the leaves
Bm
You are in the clouds, the grass, the distant hills
D
How could we not see?
[Verse 2]
Em
Poetry and prose. It’s in the shape, the color,
C
the smell of a rose
Bm
You left love letters written in Your hand
D B/D#
For the careful eye to read.
[Chorus 1]
Em
But we misread
C
and gave Your glory to the birds
G D B/D#
We gave Your honor to Your works instead
Em
But we misread
C
and chased the sun, the moon, the stars
G
to try to find out who we are
D
and from where we came
[Instrumental]
Em C Bm D
[Verse 3]
Em
When the dawn breaks, in every sunset
C
the heavens they proclaim
Bm
in a voice that goes out to the ends of the earth
D B/D#
the splendour of Your name
[Chorus 1]
Em
But we misread
C
and gave Your glory to the birds
G D B/D#
We gave Your honor to Your works instead
Em
But we misread
C
and chased the sun, the moon, the stars
G
to try to find out who you are
D
and from where we came
[Verse 4]
Em
But this beauty still will fade.
C
All this loveliness is destined to decay.
Bm
In this dying world, even nature waits
D
for the glory that shall be
[Chorus 2]
Em
On our way to death,
C
we wait to truly be alive
G D
to fall before our God and cry Holy
[Outro]
G G/F# Em C
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
