   C                                            
Be-cause Jehovah created

    F   G7       C
The uni-verse so grand

   Dm     E7       Am
To him be-long the earth and sky,

D7                   Fm  G7
The works of his own hand.

    C                                                   
The breath of life he has given

    F      E7        Am   C7    
And to his creatures shown

     F         C     E7       Am
That worthy is he to have the praise,

D7  C          G7      C
The worship of all his own.

    C   
The ancient nation of Israel,

   F     G7       C
At sinai they did say

    Dm     E7      Am
The Law Je-hovah's given us 

D7                Fm G7
We gladly will o- bey

   C
He was their husbandly owner

   F      E7            Am C7
He bought them from the sea.

  F         C    E7    Am
A nation of dedi-cated ones

D7   C             G7       C
they always should prove to be.

   C    
In water Jesus was baptized

   F         G7       C
To righteous-ness ful-fill

    Dm     E7     Am
And humbly he did there present

    D7               Fm  G7
Him-self to do God's will

     C
When he came up from the Jordan

   F       E7      Am C7
As God's a-nointed son

  F           C     E7       Am
O-bedient and loyal he would serve

D7 C           G7     C
as God's conse-crated one.

   C    
We come before you Jehovah

   F           G7      C
To praise your name so great.

    Dm     E7   Am
Dis-owning self with humble hears

    D7            Fm  G7
Our lives we dedi-cate.

    C
You gave your only begotten

    F        E7       Am C7
Who paid the price so high

   F         C      E7      Am
No longer as living for our-selves

D7  C            G7      C
For you we shall live or die.
