From the recording By Your Word, You Bore Creation
Lyrics
By your word, you bore creation
Mountain, sea and field
Breath of life, gave breath to man
One to tend its yield
Patient, bore a chosen people
Keeping Israel
Remnant, saved despite the faithless
With Jehovah dwell
Through your spirit, bore a hope
Prophecies resound
Of a saviour come from Heaven
To wear the victor's crown
By a virgin, bore Messiah
Humble in his birth
Calling men to turn and follow
Bringing light to earth
In his frailty bore temptation
Foes of heav'n defied
God incarnate, veiled in weakness
Evil mortified
Unto death bore he our shame
Driven to the cross
Mocked, abandoned, scorn of all
His mortal body lost
Risen bearing our salvation
Throned in Heav'n you reign
Now indwelt, your spirit bids us
Cast off worldly chains
Grant us bear this yoke of love
Strengthen and renew
Flood our lives with grace unending
Sinful ways subdue
Bear we now your glorious name
Nations hear your call
New creation fills the earth
As powers of darkness fall
