Lyrics
By your word you made the heavens,
Formed the Earth: the land, the sea.
Into your inspired creation,
Light and life you breathed.
But the world had turned to darkness
And our hearts rejected you.
Still, in love, you longed to heal us
And to bring us home.

So in the end
You sent to us your son
And by his death we are restored.

Mighty are your works,
Powerful your deeds,
Wonderful your grace that set me free.
Such amazing love,
Bounteous and free,
Such perfect peace.

So I will lift my hands
And glorify your name.
Let all creation fill the skies with praise!
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your peace.
You’ve set me free!
In my mother’s womb, you knew me,
in your image moulded me,
And for all the days before me
Laid your hand on me.
But my will was bound to darkness
And my heart had turned from you.
Yet, in love, you longed to heal me
And to make me new.

So in the end
You sacrificed your son
And by his blood I am restored.

Mighty are your works……

So I will lift my hands……

At the advent of your kingdom,
We shall see the world reborn,
And we’ll see you in your glory
When you call us home.
