You’re the word of God the Father (D)
You’re the Word of God, our Father;
from before the world began.
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
has been fashioned by your hand.
All creation holds together
by the power of your voice.
Let the skies declare your glory!
Let the land and seas rejoice!
You’re the author of creation;
you’re the Lord of ev’ry man,
and your cry of love rings out across the lands.
Yet you left the gaze of angels;
came to seek and save the lost
and exchanged the joys of heaven
for the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer you fed the hungry;
with a word you stilled the sea.
Yet how silently you suffered
that the guilty may go free.
You’re the author of creation;
you’re the Lord of ev’ry man,
and your cry of love rings out across the lands.
With a shout you rose victorious;
wrestling vict’ry from the grave
and ascended into heaven,
leading captives in your wake.
Now you stand before the Father;
interceding for your own.
From each tribe and tongue and nation
you are leading sinners home.
You’re the author of creation;
you’re the Lord of ev’ry man,
and your cry of love rings out across the lands.
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.”
