[Intro: Keith Getty]
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God
He was in the beginning with God
All things were made through him
And without him was not any thing made that was made
In him was life, and the life was the light of men
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John
He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light
That all might believe through him
He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world
He was in the world, and the world was made through him
Yet the world did not know him
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name
He gave the right to become children of God
Who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
Nor of the will of man, but of God
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us
And we have seen his glory
Glory as of the only Son from the Father
Full of grace and truth
[Verse 1]
Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be
He is Alpha and Omega
He the Source, the Ending He
Of the things that are, that have been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore

[Verse 2]
O ye heights of heaven, adore Him
Angel hosts, his praises sing
All dominions, bow before Him
And extol our God and King
Let no tongue on earth be silent
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore

[Verse 3: Kristyn Getty]
You're the Word of God the Father
From before the world began
Every star and every planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice
Let the skies declare Your glory
Let the land and seas rejoice
[Chorus: Kristyn Getty]
You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of every man
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands

[Verse 4: Kristyn Getty]
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

[Chorus: Kristyn Getty]
You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of every man
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands

[Verse 5: Kristyn Getty]
With a shout You rose victorious
Wresting victory 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: Kristyn Getty]
You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of every man
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands
You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of every man
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands
