Across The Lands

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

CHORUS
           F         C
You're the Author of creation;
           G             Am
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
         F                  G           C
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

VERSE 2 (SAME AS VERSE 1)

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!

VERSE 3(SAME AS VERSE 1)

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!

CHORUS
           F         C
You're the Author of creation;
           F             Am
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
         F                  G             C
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
