When I Consider

Phil Keaggy


Let the words of my mouth, oh Lord 
Be acceptable in Your sight. 
May the thoughts of my heart 
Be pleasing as well. 

Well, when I consider the work Your fingers 
Have done in Heaven and Earth. 
Who am I, tell me what is man really worth 
That You should call him to be 
The ruler of Your creation with majesty. 

When I think over great things You've done 
For Your people throughout all time. 
You've not dealt with us 
As we've rightly deserved. 
No, for as high as the Heavens above the Earth 
So great is Your love. 
You are mindful of just what we are made of. 
Yet you have called us to be 
The stewards of Your creation, of land and sea. 

Let the words of my mouth, oh Lord 
Be acceptable in Your sight. 
May the thoughts of my heart 
Be pleasing as well. 
Well, when I consider the work Your fingers 
Have done in Heaven and Earth. 
Who am I, tell me what is man really worth 
That You should call him to be 
The ruler of Your creation with majesty.
