He spoke a word and there was light
He split the sea and sky apart
And with a breath created life
This is the power of our God

The One who tells the sun to rise
And holds the keys of death and life
He sees our tears and dries our eyes
This is the kindness of our God

The angels sang a song of peace
For unto us a child was born
And with Him came the earth's release
This is the mercy of our God

We drove the nails into the cross
He took the weight of sin for us
Because of love He paid the cost
This is the kindness of our God

Now here before us lies today
With every breath we make a choice
To love as He first led the way
This is the calling of our God

And when the final race is won
And we are under Heaven's sun
We rejoice to hear Him say, "Well done"
This is the kindness of our God

The angels sing and we'll adore
The One who sits upon the throne
We will live with Him forevermore
This is the kindness of our God
This is the kindness of our God
