Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Who spoke the Earth and sky to form?
Who sets the sun and calls the dawn?
Who breathed me out of dust to life
With the will to trust or run and hide?
I will stay should the world 'round me fold
Lift up Your name as the darkness falls
I will wait and hold fast to Your word
Heart on Your heart and my eyes on Yours
Who loved me through my rebel way?
Who chose to carry all my shame?
Who breathes in me with endless life?
The King of glory Jesus Christ
I will stay should the world 'round me fold
Lift up Your name as the darkness falls
I will wait and hold fast to Your word
Heart on Your heart and my eyes on Yours
God of wonder and God of grace
Let my soul stand always to praise You
Fix my eyes on Your perfect way
And I'll never look back
I will stay should the world 'round me fold
Lift up Your name as the darkness falls
I will wait and hold fast to Your word
Heart on Your heart and my eyes on Yours
Who lifts the poor and heals the blind?
Who trampled death for all mankind?
Who stands for all with arms stretched wide?
My King forever Jesus Christ
