The sins of a hundred billion

Christ died for all of us

the sins of a hundred billion

all who have ever lived

since the dawn of creation

you made us Lord

to walk with us

you sent your Son

to offer us love

Christ for all of us

the sins of a hundred billion

taking on our shame

that we may walk with you.

why do I matter

I join the psalmist, David,

this is beyond my comprehension

why the Creator of the universe

would care about me

why do I matter, to you, o God,

why do we have this love letter

written by your hand

How can I thank you

what can I give

this gift beyond measure

because of you, I am,

because of you, I live.

Sharing internal music

life within our journey

a mystery, a song

joined to the infinite

sharing melodies, harmonies

stronger together

with one voice

a symphony growing

filling the place
