Praising Father above
Light reflected in His Word
Boundless in its depth
Strengthening through what’s heard

Gathering in worship
Righteous-filled interactions
Boundless energy
Leading faith to action

Dwelling in every heart
Joined together through prayer
Boundless connections
Receiving peace to share

Trusting in tomorrow
Savior opens Heaven’s light
Boundless in its truth
Transforming mankind’s plight

Resurrecting each heart
Father’s glory to embrace
Boundless Spirit stirs
Raising Christ’s destined grace
