Story behind the song
When I first started listening to Christian music, this song grabbed me by the heart. It wasn't until several months after I had been singing along with the radio that I discovered that Rich Mullins had been tragically killed in a car accident long before I ever heard the song for the first time. I was devastated! This song is the very essense of our short time here on earth before we reach our new home.
Lyrics
1) And there's more than rises in the morning that the sun, and more than shines in the night than just the moon; there's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm in a shelter that is larger than this room. And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment, and a music higher than the songs that I can sing. The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance - I owe only to the Giver of all good things. CHORUS So, if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through; and if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You. And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs, and if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home. 2) And there's more than dances on the praries than the wind, and more than pulses in the oceans that the tide. There's a love that is fiercer than a love between friends; more gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side. And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment, and a music higher than the songs that I can sing. The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance, I owe only to the Giver of all good things.
