David's on his throne at sundown
His paper and his pen are in his hand
He's waiting on a song at sundown

As he gazes out across his holy land

And he thinks of old Goliath and he smiles

He can barely keep from laughing
He says, "great is the Lord and greatly to be praised"
He can hear the rivers clapping

Well, they're still clapping
To the same old song and dance


Well the cadence of the sea is just as steady
And the chorus of the hills is just as strong
And the faithfulness of God is just as mighty as it was

When the shepherd slew the giant with a stone

You can close your eyes and listen to the sea

You can feel the holy rhythm
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
For the mercy he has given

Well, he's still giving
It's the same old song and dance


I can hear creation singing his praise
That his love is everlasting
It's the same as it was a million years ago

I can still hear David laughing
And the rivers are still clapping
It's the same old song and dance
