Lyrics
You’re the Word of God the Father
From before the world began.
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice.
Let the skies declare Your glory;
Let the land and seas rejoice!

CHORUS
You’re the Author of creation;
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

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!

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!

Best modern hymn I’ve ever heard. I came across it being played by a pair of preachers while walking through the centre of town. When I first came into earshot, I was utterly worn out by a long week (a long couple of years, honestly, but that’s another story) but, by the time I’d finished passing, I felt like I could the world. Must have been walking 4 inches taller. Wonderful, wonderful work.

Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home!

may the world the Lord created give Him the praise He is due!

[carl-okgn]

This song reminds me of of the disney Pocahontas, Colors of the Wind. I get emotional listening to that song because even though it's not meant to, i find it glorifies God as it is about the overwhelming beauty of creation. This video and song made me tear. The beauty of Creation is proof enough of God's majesty!

Love the lyrics and music, but a nit: the text shows up too late if you like singing along with the video, it needs to be just a little earlier vis a vis the music.
