God of creation

There at the start, before the beginning of time

With no point of reference

You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light.

And as you speak

A hundred billion galaxies are born

In the vapour of your breath the planets form

If the stars were made to worship, so will I

I can see your heart in everything you've made

Every burning star, a signal fire of grace

If creation sings your praises, so will I

God of your promise

You don't speak in vain, no syllable empty or void

For once you have spoken

All nature and science, follow the sound of your voice.

And as you speak

A hundred billion creatures catch your breath

Evolving in pursuit of what you said

If it all reveals your nature, so will I

I can see your heart in everything you say

Every painted sky, a canvas of your grace

If creation still obeys you, so will I

So will I, so will I

If the stars were made to worship, so will I

If the mountains bow in reverence, so will I

If the oceans roar your greatness, so will I

For if everything exists to lift you high, so will I

And if the wind goes where you send it, so will I

If the rocks cry out in silence, so will I

If the sum of all our praises still falls shy

Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times!

God of salvation

You chased down my heart through all of my failure and pride

On a hill you created

The light of the world abandoned in darkness to die.

And as you speak

A hundred billion failures disappear

Where you lost your life so I could find it here

If you left the grave behind you, so will I

I can see your heart in everything you've done

Every part designed in a work of art called love

If you gladly chose surrender, so will I

I can see your heart, eight billion different ways

Every precious one, a child you died to save

If you gave your life to love them, so will I

Like you would again a hundred billion times

But what measure could amount to your desire?

You're the one who never leaves the one behind.
