| Because Jehovah created
|
| The universe so grand,
|
| To him belong the earth and sky,
|
| The works of his own hand.
|
| The breath of life he has given
|
| And to his creatures shown
|
| That worthy is he to have the praise,
|
| The worship of all his own.
|
| In water Jesus was baptized
|
| To righteousness fulfill.
|
| In solemn prayer he said to God: ‘I've come to do your will.'
|
| When he came up from the Jordan
|
| As God’s anointed Son,
|
| Obedient and loyal he would pray: ‘My Father, your will be done.'3.
|
| We come before you, Jehovah,
|
| To praise your name so great.
|
| Disowning self, with humble hearts,
|
| Our lives we dedicate.
|
| You gave your only begotten,
|
| Who paid the price so high.
|
| No longer as living for ourselves,
|
| For you we will live or die. |
