Wonders of Your Love
03:09
|
|||
|
My going out, my coming in, you know them all before I do
You made my body secretly, you knit me in my mother's womb.
Our hearts are restless till they rest in you,
They rest in you, O God,
Your everlasting, gracious mercy
And the wonders of your love.

Verse 1:
Jesus was born into nothin'
And nowhere was right where he stayed.
He rambled all around,
Preaching in the towns,
On God's loving, forgiving ways.
Chorus:
Jesus rose up from the grave,
Jesus rose up from the grave,
They tried to break him down,
They tried to take his crown,
But Jesus rose up from the grave.

For the Good Green Earth

|

For the good green earth, God,
For the skies above,
All creation everywhere surrounding us in love.
Holy God, Redeeming Pow'r, Spirit in our midst,
We give thanks with grateful hearts for all your many gifts.

Verse 1:
When face to face with that dear cross
Where Jesus Christ was crucified,
All that I have I count as loss
And feel contempt for all my pride.

Verse 1:
The limits of just one perspective,
Or even a whole culture's worth,
Can never encompass the beauty
Or the greatness of all of God's work.
Chorus:
Our God has more light and more truth left
To break forth from that good, holy word.
More meanings, more insights, more myst'ries,
There is wisdom that's yet to be learned.

Verse 1:
A woman's lost her coin, she cannot let it go,
She sweeps out all the corners, lets everybody know
And when she finds the thing she's been looking for so long,
She cannot really help it, her heart breaks out in song:
Chorus:
How wide is God's welcome to the wayfaring child?
As wide as the ocean or the bright and starry sky.
How wide is God's welcome to the lost and the least?
As wide as the west stretching out from the east.
