How Great Your Heart
(verse 1)
C F C F C G Am
Long before the seven dawns, You thought upon Your chosen ones,
F G
And set Your love on us
C F C F C G Am
Bound up in the Trinity, Your glorious infinity
F G C
Poured out Your righteousness.
From Your hand the angels flew, like white doves into the blue,
They circled round Your throne
The prideful one, he took his fall, and many heeded his dark call
And sank down like a stone.
F G C F C G
But countless millions sang, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord,”
F G F C F G C
And round Your throne they lift their wings, Forever they sing, “Holy is the Lord.”
(vs 2)
In the Garden, by Your plan, You breathed Your life into a man,
Then You set him free
To choose joyfully to obey, or fall into the prideful way,
And cry to God in need.
So Your beloved children grew into a hopeless multitude
And here we see Your grace:
You left the angels’ endless song, to walk among this wounded throng
And die in our place.
While countless millions sang, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord,”
And round Your throne they lift their wings, Forever they sing, “Holy is the Lord.”
C Am G C F C Am C Dm G C
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, perfect in power, in love and purity.
(vs 3)
How great Your heart, oh Lord of Hosts, to give the One You loved the most
And turn away Your eyes
The very heart of God was pierced. But then, with joy and triumph fierce,
Jesus did arise!
You washed Your own blood from my hands, and drew me in with loving bands
To Your undying life
How great the heart of loving grace, that opened Heaven’s sweet embrace
To such a one as I.
And countless millions sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord”
And round Your throne we stand, lift our hands, and sing, “Holy is the Lord.”
Countless millions sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord”
And round Your throne we stand, lift our hands, and sing, “Holy is the Lord.”
