Across The Lands

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!

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!
