¶Lyrics / Text

1. At the dawning of creation, God divided light from shade, &ensp; And He made us, male and female. In His image we were made. ''Refrain'' &ensp; And the life that God created we will honor and defend &ensp; From conception to the heavens; from beginning to the end. 2. God the Father called a people, and He drew them by the hand &ensp; And He led them through the desert and into the Promised Land. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 3. In His saving Incarnation, Jesus bore a human frame &ensp; To restore the sacred Image hidden by our sin and shame. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 4. And He walked among the people, healed the sick and raised the dead, &ensp; And the poor rejoiced at hearing the appealing words He said. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 5. On the Cross, our gracious Savior Jesus laid His body down, &ensp; Dying as the Man of Sorrows; giving humankind a crown. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 6. And He sent the Holy Spirit for forgiveness of our sins. &ensp; Even now God dwells among us; even now, new life begins. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 7. When we share the Holy Myst’ries in the Eucharistic food &ensp; We are filled with life eternal: Jesus’ Body and His Blood. &ensp; ''Refrain'' 8. When He comes again in glory, all the dead shall rise again, &ensp; And our human eyes shall see Him in the splendor of His reign. &ensp; ''Refrain''
