Lyrics It Was His Idea - Colin Buchanan

The setting sun on Uluru
A mother's whispered "I love you"
A winning goal in extra time
It was His idea

A friend to hold you in your grief
A shooting star, a coral reef
That beautiful discovery
That was His idea

It was His idea
He's the reason that we're here
Jesus got His fingerprints
On everything that's good

The tender touch of skin on skin
The oxygen we're breathing in
The song, the dance, the work of art
It was His idea

The hunger inside me and you
That longs for grace and justice too
Mercy by another's blood
Well, that was His idea

It was His idea
He's the reason that we're here
Jesus got His fingerprints
On everything that's good

Not chasing mist, not playing chance
Not buying empty circumstance
When every atom, every cell
Screams, "It was His idea"

It was His idea
He's the reason that we're here
Jesus got His fingerprints
On everything that's good

It was His idea
He's the reason that we're here
Well, Jesus got His fingerprints
On everything that's good

You say we're meat, we live, we die
There is no truth, that God's a lie
But one day every tongue will cry
It was His idea
