A hip-hop reimagining of some Psalms.

The Works of Your Hands - Psalm 8


[Verse 1]

O Lord, our Lord — how majestic You are

Your name echoes from earth to the stars

Set Your glory in the heavens so high

Every sunrise paints truth in the sky

From the mouths of babes You’ve built a wall

Against the dark when evil calls

Silence the enemy, break the schemes

Strength made perfect in what seems weak

When I gaze at the moon, when I stare at the skies

All that You formed with Your fingers — I’m awed inside

What is man, that You’re mindful still?

That You'd crown us with glory? That You'd call us real?



[Hook]

O Lord, our Lord — Your name is flame

From galaxies wide to a whisper of rain

You lift up dust, then give it a name

What is man? Yet You honor the same

Who am I that You’d care like this?

Write my worth in the stars You lit

Above the noise, above the fight

You see me, You call me right



[Verse 2]

Made a little lower than the heavenly host

But You gave us dominion — that’s no boast

Over sheep, over oxen, birds in the sky

Fish in the sea, things rollin’ by

We mess it up, yeah, we lose control

But You still chase after a wandering soul

The works of Your hands stretch wide and deep

Yet You’re close enough to watch me sleep

I’m dust, I’m breath, I’m a flicker of flame

But You etched my name in eternal fame

Your fingerprints mark every step I take

Even when I bend, You never break

[Hook]

O Lord, our Lord — Your name is flame

From galaxies wide to a whisper of rain

You lift up dust, then give it a name

What is man? Yet You honor the same

Who am I that You’d care like this?

Write my worth in the stars You lit

Above the noise, above the fight

You see me, You call me right


[Speed Rap]
Skies shout glory, oceans preach

Mountains rise and silence speaks

Every atom, every reach

Testifies that You’re in each

Stars ain't random, sun don’t stall

It’s a blueprint signed by the Lord of All

And still You call me, flaws and all

So I rise again when I start to fall



[Hook]

O Lord, our Lord — Your name is flame

From galaxies wide to a whisper of rain

You lift up dust, then give it a name

What is man? Yet You honor the same

Who am I that You’d care like this?

Write my worth in the stars You lit

Above the noise, above the fight

You see me, You call me right



[Outro]

Yeah…

Majesty wrapped in mercy

That's who You are
