Gaither Vocal Band's 'We Are The Sands, We Are The Stars' is a live performance that reflects on God's covenant with Abraham. The song draws from the biblical promise that Abraham's descendants would be as numerous as the grains of sand and the stars in the sky. It celebrates the fulfillment of that promise through the multitude of believers, described as a white-robed throng. The lyrics emphasize God's faithfulness and the testimony of His children, who shine like stars and bear witness to His wonders. The song connects the Old Testament promise to the present-day community of faith.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You took an old man walkin' by the sea 

Waves and sand as far as he could see 

Now count the grains of sand, That stretch across the land 

"Trust Me now, so shall your seed be"


When evening fell You showed another sight 

The wide black velvet canopy of night 

"Now number all the stars, as countless as they are 

Your children shall outnumber all these lights"


We are the stars, we are the sand We are the promise that You made to Abraham 

We are the seed, the white -robed throng 

We are the children You had promised for so long 

We are the sands, we are the stars 


And one day You will hold the old man tight 

And show him a parade all clothed in white 

He'll ask You who they are, these lines that stretch so far 

This crowd so vast they're like a cloud of light 


And You will say, "the word I spoke was true 

These are the countless heirs I promised you 

I am the great I am, I sent the perfect lamb 

Refined by fire, My grace has brought them through"


We are the stars, we are the sand We are the promise that You made to Abraham 

We are the seed, the white -robed throng 

We are the children You had promised for so long 

We are the sands, we are the stars 


Sands that bear your footprint and glisten like the sun 

We declare Your faithfulness, the wonders you have done 

Stars that pierce the darkness and fill the endless sky 

We proclaim to keep Your word, Your children testify


We are the stars, we are the sand We are the promise that You made to Abraham 

We are the seed, the white -robed throng 

We are the children You had promised for so long 

We are the sands, we are the stars
