C F
You're the Word of God the Father
C G
From before the world began.
F C
Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet
Dm F
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
C F
All creation holds together
C G
By the power of Your voice.
F C
Let the skies declare Your glory;
Dm G
Let the land and seas rejoice!
CHORUS
F C
You're the Author of creation;
G Am
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
F G C
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
VERSE 2 (SAME AS VERSE 1)
Yet You left the gaze of angels,
Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer You fed the hungry;
With a word You calmed the sea;
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free!
VERSE 3(SAME AS VERSE 1)
With a shout You rose victorious,
Wresting vict'ry from the grave,
And ascended into heaven,
Leading captives in Your way.
Now You stand before the Father,
Interceding for Your own;
From each tribe and tongue and nation,
You are leading sinners home!
CHORUS
F C
You're the Author of creation;
F Am
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
F G C
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
