Lyrics

Verse 1

Only a whisper, “Let there be light”

The forces of darkness fled into night

One simple word creates every new day

And every morning His new mercies say,

Chorus 1

“I love you, my child,” 

Written across every sky

“I love you more than the stars that I name,

For you are the one I call, ‘Mine’”

Verse 2

Carved with a finger on tablets of stone

Rules for the people that God calls His own

Providing atonement for sin every year

“I love you,” is written, but nobody hears

Chorus 2

“I love you, my child,”

Written in every command

“I love you more than the offerings you bring

My heart breaks, you don’t understand

Bridge

Nothing but silence, as God the Son dies

The sun hides its glories, God covers His eyes

This, written in blood on the ground,

As all the world echoes this earth-shaking sound,

Chorus 3

“I love you, my child,”

Written across every scar

“I love you more than my very own life,

And your name is etched on my heart”

Verse 3

Soon He will shout it, as angels rejoice

As all of the universe is given a voice

Our Father is coming, the trumpet will sound

And throughout eternity earth will resound,

Chorus 4

“I love you, my child,”

Written across every sky

“I love you more than you ever can know,

But you have forever to try”
