This scripture song was put together by my friend, Peggy Dence, in I believe it was 1991. If I remember correctly, it was one of about 8 scripture songs she was inspired to compose music for in about a week's time. They were all wonderful songs, and I think I recorded all of them on various scripture song projects, but this was probably my favorite of them all. My son, Michael, reminded me of it at an afternoon of singing we enjoyed last weekend, so I thought I'd share it here.

By the Word of the Lord
Were the heavens made,
And all the host of them
By the breath of His mouth.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together
As an heap
He layeth up the depth in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all the inhabitants of the world
Stand in awe of Him;
For He spake and it was done.
He commanded and it stood fast.
Let all the inhabitants of the world
Stand in awe of Him.
