You
Who made the whole world with your hand
Walked along this land
Humbled as a man
You came down
and you changing the water to wine
Gave your greatest sign
By changing lives like mine
How did You know
I'd eventually go
And take you for the Lord of my life?
I'm so glad for

You
How did you stand the shame
When they laughed at your name
Your Father felt such pain
Well how'd you take it

But You
Spoke not a word to defend
Cause they'd see in the end
When you rose again

Whenever you spoke
All the demons awoke
And would tremble with fear at your sight

And you
Loving a world filled with hate
And though the hour is late
You still chose to wait
But it won't be long until

You
Take the whole world by surprise
They won't believe their eyes
When You come through the skies
When You return
All the foolish will learn
That they waited too long to decide

Don't wait too long to decide
