before the beginning of time
With no point of reference,
and fleshed out the wonder of light
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
in everything you've made
Every burning star, a signal fire of grace
If creation sings your praises,
no syllable empty or void
follow the sound of your voice
a hundred billion creatures
Evolving in pursuit of what you said
If it all reveals your nature, so will I
Every painted sky a canvas of your grace
If creation still obeys you, so will I
If the stars were made to worship,
If the mountains bow in reverence,
If the oceans roar your greatness,
For if everything exists to lift you high,
If the wind cools where you're standing,
If the rocks cry out in silence,
If the sum of all our praises
through all of my failure and pride
The light of the world abandoned
A hundred billion failures disappear
If you left the grave behind you
So light, I can see your heart
in everything you've done
If you gladly chose to render
So light, I can see your heart
eight billion different ways
If you gave your life to love them, so will I
But one measure could amount
never leaves the one behind you
