Scripture reference

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
(Ephesians 3:20)

Words

1. God's workmanship is evident
Throughout the whole creation.
Earth, skies, and seas, and all that breathes
Give Him all adoration.

Chorus: "God's workmanship is evident"
Should be our exclamation!
From age to age, from birth to death,
To heaven's jubilation!

2. God's workmanship is evident
As He constructs salvation.
Christ's precious blood hides all our sin;
His love is our foundation.

3. God's workmanship is evident
As we seek restoration.
He molds our lives; He gives us strength
when we face tribulation.

4. God's workmanship is evident;
Our lives are God's formation.
We walk in light from day to day;
Good works are our vocation.
