Today’s song comes from my favourite group, Emu Music. Augustine is credited with writing that “he who sings, prays twice”, which I deeply resonate with – my favourite songs and hymns are those which are prayers to God, where you are not only declaring truth but speaking directly to God. How much more beautiful when more than one voice joins in the song of prayer! I think you’ll enjoy this one!
God of earth and heaven, maker of mankind
You spoke creation into life
Your word at the beginning, breaking through the dark
You wrote your law upon our hearts
Refrain
Lead us in your truth, God, teach us of your grace
Change us by your Spirit to live for you
Fill us with your love, Lord, guide us in your ways
The words you speak are faithful and ever true, help us live for you
Came to dwell among us, from the Father’s side
The glory of our saviour Christ
Author of salvation, full of truth and grace
You speak the words of lasting life [Refrain]
The grass will fade and wither, flowers wilt and fall
Your word endures forevermore
Your promises unchanging, your wisdom never fails
Calling us to stand by faith [Refrain]
