Across the Lands lyrics

You’re the Word of God the Father

From before the world began.

Every star and every 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 every man.

And your cry of love

Rings out ‘ across the lands.

2.

Yet you left the gaze of angels;

Came to seek and save the lost,

And exchanged the joy of heaven

For the anguish of the 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.

3.

With a shout you rose victorious,

Wresting victory 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.
