[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D]
This [Daug]is

[Verse 1]
[D]a resemblance
[Gm]unintentional.[D][Gm]
In [Edim]the beg[Gm]innin[D]g,
God created the heavens and the earth.
Though at [C]first they lay in formlessness,
He knew their final [D]worth.
Clothed in power and majesty,
in garments made of light,
As [C]darkness fled before him,
[F]he divided day [D]from [Gm]night.
[D]He fastened earth's foundations,
laid its corners stone,
He [C]shut the sea behind its doors
and made its boundaries [D]known.
He spoke of grass and herbs
and trees and seeds that fall and fly.
And [C]roots thrust deep into the earth
[F]an d branches to the [D]sky.
And the [G]chorus of the morning stars
And the shouts of heaven's suns
Re[D]sound throughout the sky -fields
While the work of God is done
And as He [G]sows His words like jewels
In a rainbow falling down
The [F]garden is perfection,
[C]and awaits creation's [D]crown.
Then in glory unimaginable,
the Lord himself is here.
He [C]kneels and there beneath his hands,
a man from dust appears.
[D]He lifts Him gently in His arms,
breathes into His soul,
[C]Praises Him to stand upright, complete,
[F]and free and[D] whole.
[Gm][D][Gm]
[D][Bb][Gm]
And the [G]man looks round in wonder
At the world that's now his own
[D]Everything that's touched and seen
Is beauty yet unknown
With a [G]joy that has no bounds
and knows no fear of end
Every [F]evening in its coolness
[C]he walks there with his [D]friend[Gm]
The [D]power that formed the universe
was but a token of his might.
It was [C]love that gave us ears to hear
and eyes to see [D]the light.
It's love that gave us breath.
It is love that gave us birth.
It's [C]love that flung the stars,
[F]and it is love that spins [D]the earth.
And [G]when at last this vastness,
like a worn -out robe, rolled,
And the [D]new creation's children
watch their heart's desires unfold
Then [G]love will reign forever
through our God and King and Friend
And as it [F]was in the beginning,
[C]it shall be without en[D]d
As it [C]was in the beginning,
[G]shall be without [D]end
As it [C]was in the beginning,
[G]shall be without [D]en [D]d you
