Ex Nihilo

Ex Nihilo

 

You spoke and all the worlds came forth

Out of darkness can the light

Out of chaos came the earth

You hold the worlds together by the power of your might

 

Without you I am nothing , I am nothing, I am nothing.

Only You can make something out of nothing, out of nothing.

Only You!

 

And from the dust you created man

Breathed into him and made him stand

And male and female you created them

To bear your image and uphold your plan.

 

Without you I am nothing , I am nothing, I am nothing.

Only You can make something out of nothing, out of nothing.

Only You!

 

You spoke and gave me ears to hear

You opened the eyes of my heart so I can see

You give me life and breath and all that is dear

You put your spirit here inside of me

 

Without you I am nothing , I am nothing, I am nothing.

Only You can make something out of nothing, out of nothing.

Only You!
