Across the Land

{c:Intro}
[G] [D] [Am] [C] 

{c:Verse 1}
You're the [G]Word of God the [C]Father
From be[G]fore the world be[D]gan.
Ev'ry [C]star and ev'ry [G]planet
Has been [Am]fashioned by Your [C]hand.
All cre[G]ation holds to[C]gether
By the [G]power of Your [D]voice.
Let the [C]skies declare Your [G]glory;
Let the [Am]land and seas re[D]joice!

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
You're the [C]Author of cre[G]ation;
You're the [C]Lord of ev'ry [Em]man;
And Your [C]cry of love rings [G]out a[D]cross the [G]lands.
{eoc}

{c:Verse 2}
Yet You [G]left the gaze of [C]angels,
Came to [G]seek and save the [D]lost,
And ex[C]changed the joy of [G]heaven
For the [Am]anguish of a [C]cross.
With a [G]prayer You fed the [C]hungry;
With a [G]word You calmed the [D]sea;
Yet how [C]silently You [G]suffered
That the [Am]guilty may go [D]free!

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
You're the [C]Author of cre[G]ation;
You're the [C]Lord of ev'ry [Em]man;
And Your [C]cry of love rings [G]out a[D]cross the [G]lands.
{eoc}

{c:Verse 3}
With a [G]shout You rose vic[C]torious,
Wresting [G]vict'ry from the [D]grave,
And a[C]scended into [G]heaven,
Leading [Am]captives in Your [C]way.
Now You [G]stand before the [C]Father,
Inter[G]ceding for Your [D]own;
From each [C]tribe and tongue and [G]nation,
You are [Am]leading sinners [D]home!

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
You're the [C]Author of cre[G]ation;
You're the [C]Lord of ev'ry [Em]man;
And Your [C]cry of love rings [G]out a[D]cross the [G]lands.
You're the [C]Author of cre[G]ation;
You're the [C]Lord of ev'ry [Em]man;
And Your [C]cry of love rings [G]out a[D]cross the [G]lands.
{eoc}
