Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You spoke the words and all the worlds came into order
You waved your hands and planets filled the empty skies
You placed the woman and the man inside the garden
And though they fell they found compassion in your eyes

Oh Lord I stand amazed at the wonder of your deeds
And yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees

Lord I praise you, because of who you are
Not for all the mighty things that you have done
Lord, I worship you, because of who you are
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise
Because of who you are

One holy night you brought Your promise from a virgin
And promise grew as he revealed to us your heart
Enduring love displayed throughout his Crucifixion
And in the dark, you tore the grave and death apart

Oh Lord I stand amazed at the wonder of your deeds
And yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees

Lord I praise you, because of who you are
Not for all the mighty things that you have done
Lord, I worship you, because of who you are
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise
Because of who you are

Lord I praise you, because of who you are
Not for all the mighty things that you have done
Lord, I worship you, because of who you are
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise
Because of who you are
