Peter wrote the music for this new song and I added the lyrics (with a little help from Peter). Margriet Brasz and Nicole de Jong join Peter in the recording. - Elton, 18 November 2008
(Verse 1)
Father God You were before all things
And in Your praise creation gladly sings
When we look above the sun will shine
And everyone will know that You are mine
Lord we thank you for Your sacrifice of love
Great Creator of the earth and sky above
Gently hold us in Your hand
In the wonder of Your plan
As we marvel at Your works oh Holy One
(Verse 2)
In Bethlehem You joined us as a man
Messiah I can hardly understand
Knowing You would suffer on the tree
Giving up Your life for even me
Lord we thank you for Your sacrifice of love
Great Creator of the earth and sky above
Gently hold us in Your hand
In the wonder of Your plan
As we marvel at Your works oh Holy One
(Chorus)
One who loves me
You're calling me to be
To be holy
A life that's truly free
Three in One, praise
You Father, Spirit, Son
A mystery eternal Three in One
(Verse 3)
Holy One You spread throughout the land
Redeeming little children with Your hand
Showering Your gifts on everyone
Revealing that our joy has just begun
Lord we thank you for Your sacrifice of love
Great Creator of the earth and sky above
Gently hold us in Your hand
In the wonder of Your plan
As we marvel at Your works oh Holy One
(Repeat chorus 2 times)
One who loves me
You're calling me to be
To be holy
A life that's truly free
Three in One, praise
You Father, Spirit, Son
A mystery eternal Three in One
(Ending)
A mystery eternal Three in One
A mystery eternal Three in One
