You re the Word of God the 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!
CHORUS
You re the Author of creation;
You re the Lord of ev ry man;
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
You re the Author of creation;
You re the Lord of ev ry man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
