GOD EFFORTLESSLY
CREATED
THE WORLD
AROUND US
BUT HE DIDN’T STOP THERE
IN HIS OWN LIKENESS
HE MADE MANKIND
HE MADE US
HE MADE ME
HE MADE YOU
GOD ALMIGHTY
CRAFTING
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL
SOMEONE UNIQUE
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
RARE
MIRACULOUS
UNPRECEDENTED
YOU
BREATHED
TO LIFE BY
THE GOD
OF THE
UNIVERSE
BUT BEING
MADE BY GOD
AND FOR
HIS GLORY WAS
NOT ENOUGH
FOR US
IN TIME
OUR HEARTS BENT
AWAY FROM HIS
AND WE WALKED AWAY
WE WALKED OUR WAY
THINKING SOMETHING
OR SOMEONE ELSE
WAS
BETTER
LIKE FOOLS,
WE ABANDONED THE GOD
OF ALL CREATION
BUT REBELLION WAS
BITTERSWEET
AND SOON DEATH CAME
EVERYTHING WAS TORN
AND BATTERED
AND BRUISED
AND BROKEN
AND ALL
OUR WELLS
RAN DRY
WE WERE WITHOUT HOPE
AND WITHOUT GOD
WITH NO WAY
BACK TO
HIM
BUT GOD
IS RICH IN MERCY
AND HIS LOVE FOR US
WOULD NOT FAIL
GOD HAD A PLAN
AN UNTHINKABLE PLAN
HE WOULD SEND HIS
ONE AND ONLY SON
IN HUMAN FLESH
THE INNOCENT FOR THE GUILTY
A DIVINE EXCHANGE
BEYOND COMPREHENSION
THE SON OF GOD
WOULD BE OFFERED
IN OUR PLACE
TO BE TORN
AND BATTERED
AND BRUISED
AND BROKEN
UNTIL DEATH CAME
HE BREATHED HIS FINAL BREATH
AND FREEDOM RANG
CHAINS WERE BROKEN
DEATH WAS FINISHED
AND IN THE END,
HIS LOVE WAS GREATER
THAN THE GRAVE
AND LIFE FOR US WAS BORN
HALLELUJAH
GOD’S LOVE IS
HIGHER THAN THE
MOUNTAIN OF OUR MESS
IT RUNS DEEPER THAN
THE STAINS THAT MAR US
FOR HE WAS PIERCED FOR
OUR TRANSGRESSIONS
CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
THE PUNISHMENT THAT
BROUGHT US PEACE
WAS ON HIM
AND BY HIS WOUNDS
WE ARE HEALED
IT IS GRACE
IT IS GOD
