Lyrics
[Chorus]
He did it all, He did it all,
Salvation is of the Lord.
He did it all, He did it all,
From the first to the final word.
[Verse 1]
Before the world was called to be,
Before there was a sun,
He set His love, He wrote my name,
The choosing it was done.
[Chorus]
He did it all, He did it all,
Salvation is of the Lord.
He did it all, He did it all,
From the first to the final word.
[Verse 2]
He climbed the hill and paid it all,
He bore the cross alone.
He came down to my cold, dark grave
And called me from the stone.
[Chorus]
He did it all, He did it all,
Salvation is of the Lord.
He did it all, He did it all,
From the first to the final word.
[Verse 3]
He counted me as righteous,
He holds me by the hand.
And He will bring me all the way
To the far side of the land.
[Bridge]
I ran back down the line of it,
From the glory to the grace,
And I could not find a single link
That I had set in place.
Not the calling, not the cross,
Not the verdict, not the crown.
He did it all, He did it all,
So I lay my glory down.
[Chorus x2]
He did it all, He did it all,
Salvation is of the Lord.
He did it all, He did it all,
From the first to the final word.
[Outro]
He did it all,
He did it all,
Salvation is of the Lord,
He did it all.
