From the very first
where the numbers begin,
A beautiful line
so, crisp and thin.
It starts at the zero,
the great i am
he is a hero
then hops right along,
from left to right
like rays of light
coming from a heavenly song.
One, two, and three,
they continue on in a row,
To show us
how far a number line can grow
numbers show us
how far a number line can grow
yeah, on to infinity
thats how much Jesus loves
me
yeah on to infinity!
See the arrow shot out
to each eternal
never-end
To show us that numbers
yeah, numbers
they will always extend.
They never run out,
and they don’t have a stop,
No final big count
at the very top.
yeah, numbers
they will always extend.
One, two, and three,
they continue on in a row,
To show us
how far a number line can grow
numbers show us
how far a number line can grow
yeah, on to infinity
thats how much Jesus loves
me
yeah on to infinity!
And that is a truth
that a small child
knows is true—
may we have the faith
of a tiny youth
and with love
that grows so wild
like the numbers
that continue on
as we sing his praises
in this song
we know
that he is mighty and true
and his mercy
is always new
the number line
declares
that Jesus is eternal
and he so aware
of every single hair
upon my head
and so the numbers
have simply said
he knows me
and i am loved
so i worship
god above
yes, i worship
god above
One, two, and three,
they continue on in a row,
To show us
how far a number line can grow
numbers show us
how far a number line can grow
yeah, on to infinity
thats how much Jesus loves
me
yeah on to infinity!
The counting goes on
into infinity too.
the number line is a picture
that God has designed,
To open our hearts
and to speak to our mind.
For numbers belong
to the Maker of grace,
Who measured the stars
and put each in its place.
They tell us of Jesus,
the First and the Last,
Whose love is unmatched
and uniquely so vast.
One, two, and three,
they continue on in a row,
To show us
how far a number line can grow
numbers show us
how far a number line can grow
yeah, on to infinity
thats how much Jesus loves
me
yeah on to infinity!
