1. Au- thor of all Life, our Fa- ther, breathe in- to our hearts a- gain. Stir our dead- ness, heal our weak- ness, crush our e- vil thoughts so vain. Life Cre- a- tor, life Re- deem- er, life Im- par- ter, Source of Truth, Teach us now to love each o- ther, Teach us Lord to love like You.
 
2. Hearts so hard, we hate each o- ther, those in need we treat with scorn... Old, un- wise, or not my col- or, Pal- sied limbs, or not yet born. Life Cre- a- tor, life Re- deem- er, life Im- par- ter, Three in One, Teach us Lord to see Your I- mage, Teach us now to see the Son.
 
3. Christ now grants us life e- ter- nal, to know You the one true God, He the Way to see the Fa- ther, He the One who felt the rod. Life Cre- a- tor, life Re- deem- er, life Im- par- ter, Life con- ferred! Let us sing of Your a- tone- ment, Let all peo- ple hear Your Word!
