"Even The Rocks Cry Out!"
Don’t know how many of you have seen this article? Scientists believe they have recorded the Sun singing! That’s right…singing. They have shown that there are specific frequencies that resonate from the Sun’s atmosphere. They go on to say that when the Sun sets off flares and such, there are even more sounds that are emitted.
Ok…think about this for a minute. The Sun is singing! The Bible says that “even the rocks cry out”. Even the creation sings God’s praises. 2 things that come to my mind in this.
#1 – The frequency at which the Sun is “singing”, is too low for the human ear to hear. If you think about that, it makes complete sense. Why would the Sun be singing for humans? The Sun is singing for it’s creator and no one else. Do we sing exclusively for the purpose of praising our creator?
#2 – I think there may be more to this, “even the rocks cry out” than we think. At first read it sounds like, “if we don’t, then they will”. In other words I take that to say, When I stop praising, creation praises for me. I don’t think I should look at it this way. I think that creation is always singing. In fact it never stops singing. It is praising it’s Creator 24/7. We…humans…are the ones that fail at that. I think the scripture is saying that even when we fail, God is still praised. It is sad that those God has created specifically to love Him, fail so miserably at it. Take another step. The Sun is just doing what it’s been created to do. And because of that, God is praised!
I think we can learn a lot from creation. God created it for His glory. He has told us that creation itself proves Him and praises Him. Guess what…creation is doing it’s job! We aren’t. Creation is going to continue to do what it is created to do. Praise it’s Creator. How about we do what we were created to do.

God Bless, I too was searching for this verse for reference inspiring a song I wrote. Holy Spirit gave me the song…wanted to read the scripture..still have not found it… but was touched by the others who also have been guided to this spot. Creation is full of song!!!
Where in the Bible does it say “even the rocks cry out”? The closest I could find is a conditional statement, that the rocks would cry out IF the people were silent (Luke 19:40). That was the basis for a song, as well – “Ain’t no rock gonna cry in my place, as long as I’m alive I’ll glorify His holy name.”
Rick,
Luke 19:40 (King James Version)
40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
This is such a beautiful posting…it is so true…
It’s 2.20am and I am writing some thoughts I have about a study I am doing on the words of our mouth. To really shorthand these thoughts – words took me to sound,then vibrations, then to create etc. That we need to speak out not just ‘ think’, because our words create vibrations that go out into the atmosphere/universe to create or to do. Look at Isaiah 55v11 ‘ so shall my Word BE’ (He wants His Word to cause a vibration that creates, causes His Word to come to pass, like in – Gen 1v3 God said, Let there BE light. God did not think but SAID – in the saying He caused vibrations that switched on the lights that are still on in the universe… Then I thought oh my goodness, everything speaks, even the rocks…how I got to google and your blurb -even the rocks cry out… and how about “all Heaven declares”… Love it . The entire universe is speaking and so should we. Praise the Lord for He is so awesome. His Word is like an iceberg, we only scratch the surface with our understanding.
I believe the crying of the rocks has to do with the scientific fact that everything so called dead are alive. The rocks have a natural frequency and this resonance is excactly the same when a human says “hallelujah” meaning Praise the Lord. So the Creator of everything knows the composition of even rocks. As science discovered the light rays are vocal, “When the morning stars sang together” in Job38:7 , our ears cant hear this as much as when rocks are crying out. Perhaps Jesus was trying to tell us that one of these days he will allow us to hear what He has heard since the beginning of time. I am a bit of a romantic, But my Creator was there “before all things and in Him all things consist. (Col 1:18)” Hallelujah
