[Verse]
D
Somewhere out in empty space
D
Long before the human race
A
 Something stirred
  Em
A vast and timeless source began
  A
Intelligence was born and then
D
 There was the world
D
Powers filled the universe
D7
Matter formed and broke the curse
   G
Of nothingness
A
Love became an ageless soul
A
Nature reached her highest goal
D                           A
 And breathed the breath of life
A          |  D  |  Bb  |
 Everlasting life


[Verse]
     Eb
Well creatures come from out of sight
Eb
 Daylight came from in the night
Bb
 And all was good
Fm
Life became a Masterplan
Bb
Love produced the perfect man
Eb
 That's understood
    Eb
The image of the makers word
Eb7
Worshipped him with all he had
    Ab
But then one day
     Bb
From in the depths an evil seed
Bb
Grew and manufactured greed
Eb                       Bb
 That changed the way of life
Bb          |  Eb  |  B  |
 Everlasting life


[Verse]
       E
Oh the loving power looked and saw
  E
Inside the heart of man a flaw
B
 Began to grow
          F#m
Well, the fires of hell began to burn
    B
And so he sent his chosen son
E
 To let us know
     E
That love had surely made us all
    E7
And hate would surely make us fall
   A
So from the cross
        B
Well he showed the world that dreadful day
     Bsus4             B
That love could be the only way
   E              B
Or all is lost of life
B            E
 Everlasting life
E            B
 For life is love
    B      |  A  |  A Am  | C D | E | E E E
And love is life
