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 d**h 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
