Beneath the blood You shed for me
When once You paid the price
The perfect loving Lamb of God
Your firstborn sacrifice
For how much more could You bestow
Your love through Christ Your Son
Than making Him our sacrifice
Before You had begun
To place the worlds throughout Your space
As Your creation plan
Expanded daily as You made
All things to serve the man
From light of day to light the way
For making sky and sea
To making land to plant the trees
And flowers that we see
And then the sun and moon and stars
To mark the course of day
A symbol of Your Son and those
Who Mark the narrow way
And then You made the fish
And all the birds that fill the sky
As life proceeded from Your hand
As pleasure for the eye
And then again before You formed
The woman and the man
You made the animals that live
And walk upon the land
And all of this you did that all
The universe might see
How much You longed to make the perfect
Home for all like me
So how could I begin to doubt
Your purpose everyday
In how You live and breath and move
With me in every way
You choose through love to make my path
That will for me provide
An ever present Comfort
And a Rock that I might hide
My confidence and hope of life
For which my heart does plead
The evidence of love bestowed
To meet my every need
And know with full assurance
That Your promises are true
To make in me at last the child
Who looks the more like You
