Giving glory, giving glory!

This song has been in my mind, and several other of my friends lately.
We sang it this past week in our sunday church service. Have a read and a listen...

Father Long Before Creation

Father, long before creation thou had chosen us in love,

And that love so deep, so moving, draws us close to Christ above.

Still it keeps us, still it keeps us firmly fixed in Christ alone.

Though the world may change its fashion, yet our God is ever the same;

His compassion and His covenant through all ages will remain.

God’s own children, God’s own children must forever praise His name.

God’s compassion is my story, is my boasting all the day;

Mercy free and never failing moves my will, directs my way.

God so loved us, God so loved us that His only Son He gave.

Loving Father now before Thee, we will ever praise Thy love,

And our songs will sound unceasing, ’Til we reach our home above,

Giving glory, giving glory to our God and to the Lamb;

Giving glory, giving glory to our God and to the Lamb.

(this is the Caedmon's Call version - which has an extra chorus - 

its catchy and well put together vocally & acoustically)
