Sand and stars how bright how far
Further than my eyes can see
Glorious Your heart for us
Reflected in the galaxeies
Gazing at the sky above
The evidence of endless love You have for me
On and on Your love goes on and on
The One who was and is and is to come
We stand in awe and wonder
On and on Your love goes on and on
The One who was and is and is to come
Your love will last forever
From the dust You breathed on us
Speaking hope and destiny
Love revealed Your promise sealed
Giving life to ev’ry dream
Countless as the grains of sand
I could never comprehend Your plans for me
Oh what love oh what love
Love no man could measure
Oh what love oh what love
Love that lasts forever
