Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace

1 Everlasting Father,
the Prince of Peace,
born as Christ our Saviour,
and shall we cease,
now we are his,
saved by his grace,
praising the name of Jesus?
Everlasting love!
No beginning, never ending,
all the past of our offending taken on his Cross;
Everlasting love!
From a vast eternity above
Jesus calls us to him,
circles of love from the Father through him,
everlasting love!
praise the Lord in the light of his love!

2 There's a new dimension
of love sublime,
far beyond all question
of space and time;
outside our world,
inside our heart,
mystery of grace and mercy:
Everlasting love . . .
