By Design
Words and Music by Spencer Roth, Bobby Smith, and Jordan Watts
Verse 1:
Man was created for your glory
Life formed when you breathed out your grace
You lavished us with kindness like a father
Even when you knew we’d run away
Verse 2:
You work things perfectly together
You hold our lives and measure our days
Your eyes can see the end from the beginning
In spite of the mess that we have made
Chorus:
You love us by design
You’re the architect of true redemption
You love us by design
You drew the plan to save our lives
Verse 3:
Nails were sharpened for your suffering
A cross was crafted for your end
Somehow you chose to take them freely
Though you alone were without sin
Bridge:
Your love so fully measured
It pieces us together
Now we’re holy and wholly yours
