C
Somewhere out in empty space
G7
Long before the human race something stirred
Dm G7
A vast and timeless source began intelligence was born
C
And then there was the world
Powers filled the universe matter formed
F
And broke the curse of nothingness
G7
Love became an ageless soul nature reached her highest goal
C G7 C
And breathed the breath of life everlasting life
Well creatures come from out of sight
G7
Daylight came from in the night and all was good
Dm G7
Life became a master-plan love produced
C
A perfect Man that understood
The image of the Maker's word worshiped Him
F
With all He had but then one day
G7
From in the depths an evil seed grew and manufactured greed
C G7 C
That changed the way of life everlasting life
Oh the loving power looked and saw
G7
Inside the heart of man a flaw began to grow
Dm
Well the fires of hell began to burn
G7 C
And so He sent His chosen Son to let us know
That love had surely made us all
F
And hate would surely make us fall so from the cross
G7
Well He showed the world that dreadful day
That love could be the only way
C G7 C
Or all is lost of life everlasting life
G7 F Fm C
For life is love and love is life
