Jesus suffered silently so that the guilty may go free!

Across the Lands

“You’re the Word of God the Father
From before the world began.
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice.
Let the skies declare Your glory;
Let the land and seas rejoice!

You’re the Author of creation;
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

Yet You left the gaze of angels,
Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer You fed the hungry;
With a word You calmed the sea;
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free!

You’re the Author of creation;
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

With a shout You rose victorious,
Wresting vict’ry from the grave,
And ascended into heaven,
Leading captives in Your way.
Now You stand before the Father,
Interceding for Your own;
From each tribe and tongue and nation,
You are leading sinners home!”

You’re the Author of creation;
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man;
And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

Hebrew 1:1-12

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers 
in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 
in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, 
whom He appointed heir of all things, 
through whom also He made the world.

And He is the radiance of His glory and 
the exact representation of His nature, 
and upholds all things by the word of His power. 

When He had made purification of sins, 
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
having become as much better than the angels, 
as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

For to which of the angels did He ever say,

“You are My Son,
 
Today I have begotten You”?

And again,

“I will be a Father to Him

And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,

“And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says,

“Who makes His angels winds,

And His ministers a flame of fire.”

But of the Son He says,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,

And the righteous scepter 
is the scepter of His kingdom.
“You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

And,

“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,

And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
They will perish, but You remain;

And they all will become old like a garment,
And like a mantle You will roll them up;

Like a garment they will also be changed.

But You are the same,

And Your years will not come to an end.”
