Natura Dei (The Nature of God)

[Intro – low drone, distant thunder and soft rain] Domine, tu es Deus Et non est alius praeter te (Isaiah 45:5, adapted) [Verse 1 – finger-picked, voice like awe in the dark] You are the uncreated Light Before the first dawn broke No beginning, never ending No shadow in Your cloak You spoke and galaxies were born You breathed and life began The heavens are Your canopy The earth Your footstool span [Pre-chorus – monk choir, rising] Tu es immutabilis Tu es aeternus (“I the Lord do not change” – Malachi 3:6) [Chorus – wide, reverent] NATURA DEI Holy, holy, holy Lord NATURA DEI All creation bows before Infinite, unchanging, just and true Mercy vast and wrath in view (Isaiah 6:3 / Revelation 4:8) Natura Dei We tremble at Your majesty [Verse 2 – rain on stone, voice lifts] You are the Father who runs to the lost The Son who bleeds for the thief The Spirit who groans when words fail The Triune God beyond belief You hate all sin yet love the sinner You judge with perfect sight Yet You delight to show Your grace And turn the dark to light [Chorus – heavier, drums like slow heartbeat] NATURA DEI Sovereign, gracious, righteous King NATURA DEI Every knee will bow and sing You are love, yet You are wrath You are peace, yet You are path (1 John 4:8 / Romans 11:22) Natura Dei We stand in wonder at Your name [Bridge – silence, then single voice] Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Who has given to Him that He might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things (Romans 11:34–36) [Final Chorus – soaring, cathedral ablaze] NATURA DEI Let every creature give You praise NATURA DEI From age to age, through endless days You are the Alpha and Omega The First, the Last, the Great I AM (Revelation 1:8) Natura Dei Holy, holy, holy is Your name [Outro – soft rain fading, monk choir] Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth Amen.
