C5 F5 You're the Word of God the Father C5 G5 From before the world began. F5 C5 Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet D5 F5 Has been fashioned by Your hand. C5 F5 All creation holds together C5 G5 By the power of Your voice. F5 C5 Let the skies declare Your glory; D5 G5 Let the land and seas rejoice! CHORUS F5 C5 You're the Author of creation; G5 A5 You're the Lord of ev'ry man; F5 G5 C5 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 F5 C5 You're the Author of creation; F5 A5 You're the Lord of ev'ry man; F5 G5 C5 And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
