G D Am C
[Verse 1]
G C
You're the Word of God the Father
G D
From before the world began.
C G
Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet
Am C
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
G C
All creation holds together
G D
By the power of Your voice.
C G
Let the skies declare Your glory;
Am D
Let the land and seas rejoice!
[Chorus]
C G
You're the Author of creation;
C Em
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
C G D G
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
[Verse 2]
G C
Yet You left the gaze of angels,
G D
Came to seek and save the lost,
C G
And exchanged the joy of heaven
Am C
For the anguish of a cross.
G C
With a prayer You fed the hungry;
G D
With a word You calmed the sea;
C G
Yet how silently You suffered
Am D
That the guilty may go free!
[Chorus]
C G
You're the Author of creation;
C Em
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
C G D G
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
[Verse 3]
G C
With a shout You rose victorious,
G D
Wresting vict'ry from the grave,
C G
And ascended into heaven,
Am C
Leading captives in Your way.
G C
Now You stand before the Father,
G D
Interceding for Your own;
C G
From each tribe and tongue and nation,
Am D
You are leading sinners home!
[Chorus]
C G
You're the Author of creation;
C Em
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
C G D G
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
C G
You're the Author of creation;
C Em
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
C G D G
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
