creation
God at the start,
before the beginning of time
With no point of reference,
you spoke to the dark
and fleshed out the wonder of light
And as you speak,
a hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapor of your breath, the planets form
If the stars were made to worship, so will I
I can see your heart
in everything you've made
Every burning star, a signal fire of grace
If creation sings your praises,
so will I
God of your promise
You don't speak in vain,
no syllable empty or void
For once you have spoken
All nature and science
follow the sound of your voice
An d as you speak,
a hundred billion creatures
catch your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what you said
If it all reveals your nature, so will I
I can see your heart in
everything you say
Every painted sky a canvas of your grace
If creation still obeys you, so will I
If the stars were made to worship,
so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence,
so will I
If the oceans roar your greatness,
so will I
For if everything exists to lift you high,
so will I
If the wind cools where you're standing,
so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence,
so will I
If the sum of all our praises
still falls shy
Then we'll sing again
a hundred billion times,
woah God of salvation
You chased down my heart
through all of my failure and pride
On a hill you've created
The light of the world abandoned
in darkness to die
And as you speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where you lost your life
so I could find it here
If you left the grave behind you
So light, I can see your heart
in everything you've done
Every part designed in a
work of art called love
If you gladly chose to render
So light, I can see your heart
eight billion different ways
Every precious one,
a child you died to save
If you gave your life to love them, so will I
Look you up again
a hundred billion times
But one measure could amount
to your desire
Cause you're the one who
never leaves the one behind you
