All of Creation. Separated until the veil was tornThe moment that hope was bornAnd guilt was pardoned once and for all. Captivated but no longer bound by chainsLeft at an empty graveThe sinner and the sacred resolved.

All of Creation Separated until the veil was tornThe moment that hope was bornAnd guilt was pardoned once and for all
Captivated but no longer bound by chainsLeft at an empty graveThe sinner and the sacred resolved
And all of creation sing with me nowLift up your voice and lay your burden downAnd all of creation sing with me nowFill up the heavens let His glory resound
Time has faded and we see Him face to faceEvery doubt erased forever we will worship the King And all of creation sing with me nowLift up your voice and lay your burden downAnd all of creation sing with me nowFill up the heavens let His glory resound
Ohh ah Ohhh...Ohh ah OhhhThe reason we breathe Is to sing of his gloryAnd for all He has done Praise the Father, praise the Son And the Spirit in One
And all of creation sing with me nowLift up your voice and lay your burden downAnd all of creation sing with me nowFill up the heavens let His glory resound (2x)
And every knee will bow Oh and every tongue Praise the Father praise the Son And the Spirit in One
If We Are the Body It's crowded in worship todayAs she slips in Trying to fade into the facesThe girl's teasing laughter is carrying Farther than they knowFarther than they know
But if we are the bodyWhy aren't His arms reaching?Why aren't His hands healing?Why aren't His words teaching?And if we are the bodyWhy aren't His feet going?Why is His love not showing them there is a way?There is a way
A traveler is far away from homeHe sheds his coat And quietly sinks into the back rowThe weight of their judgmental glancesTells him that his chances Are better out on the road
But if we are the bodyWhy aren't His arms reaching?Why aren't His hands healing?Why aren't His words teaching?And if we are the bodyWhy aren't His feet going?Why is His love not showing them there is a way?There is a way
Jesus payed much too high a priceFor us to pick and choose who should comeAnd we are the body of Christ
But if we are the bodyWhy aren't His arms reaching?Why aren't His hands healing?Why aren't His words teaching?And if we are the bodyWhy aren't His feet going?Why is His love not showing them there is a way?There is a way
