The Maker of the Universe

When my kiddies go to bed they enjoy listening to Phil Keaggy's album Way Back Home. They always enjoy starting on the song Father-Daughter Harmony. But this post is not about that song. It's about the song of this posts title, The Maker of the Universe, and the beautiful imagery and poetic lyrics. And in case you miss it, it's all about Jesus!! lol

Maker Of The Universe

The Maker of the universe, As Man, for man was made a curse.

The claim of Law which He had made, Unto the uttermost He paid.

His holy fingers made the bough, Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.

The nails that pierced His hand were mined, In secret places He designed.

He made the forest whence there sprung, The tree on which His body hung.

He died upon the cross of wood, Yet made the hill on which it stood.

The sky that darkened o'er His head, by Him above the earth was spread.

The sun that hid from Him its face, by His decree was poised in space.

The spear which spilled His precious blood, Was tempered in the fire of God.

The grave in which His form was laid, Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.

The throne on which He now appears, Was His from everlasting years.

But a new glory crowns His brow, And every knee to Him shall bow.

The Maker Of The Universe
