Who made the mountains, who made the trees
Who made the rivers flow to the sea
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry
Somebody bigger than you and I


Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon and the stars in the sky
Somebody bigger than you and I


He lights the way when the road is long
He keeps you company
And with His love to guide you
He walks beside you
Just like He walks with me


When we're filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go from there
And who gives me faith that will never die
Somebody bigger than you and I




(A)  Who made the mountains?
(Dmaj7) Who made the (Amaj7) trees?
(Dmaj7) Who made the (A) rivers
(Bm) Flow to the (E) sea?
And (A) Who put the (C#m) moon
In the (Dmaj7) starry (Bm7) sky?
(A) Somebody (F#m) bigger than (B7) you or I.
Who made the flowers
Bloom in the spring?
Who writes the song
For the robin to sing?
And Who sends the rain
When the earth is dry?
Somebody bigger than you and I.
Chorus:
(Bm) He lights the (E7) way
When the (A) road is (F#m) dark,
He (D) keeps you (E) comp(A)any
With (E) love to (C#m) guide you,
(Amaj7) He walks be(F#m7)side you
(A) Just like He (B) walks with (E) me.
(Esus - E)
When I am weary,
Filled with despair,
Who gives me courage
To go on from there?
And Who gives me faith
That will never die?
Somebody bigger than you and I
Chorus
