Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
(Thunder rolls, distant choir hums soft and slow)
Before the skies painted blue...
Before the first word stirred the silence...
Before shadows gave way to shapes...
Something older hummed in the dark.
[Chorus]
Before there was light,
Worship stirred beneath the cloak of night,
Stars whispered secrets as the ages breathed in sight.
Heaven watched silent as the cosmos took flight,
But pride wrote a story that turned day into fight.
Before there was light,
Before the earth wore its crown,
Before names were spoken and silence was drowned,
One heart reached to claim the throne on hallowed ground,
Now the morning's bright son is lost, wearing lies like a shroud.
[Verse 1]
Before Genesis cracked open its first page,
When time was mute and space had no stage,
The choir of the unseen broke the endless cage,
Voices folded like breaths in a sacred age.
Job thirty-eight spilled glimpses no eye could hold,
Morning stars lifted in chorals bold,
No sun yet burnished the sky to gold,
Just a canvas of glory, unframed and untold.
One figure stood wrapped in fire’s thread,
Crowned in light that the heavens bred,
Every facet shone with the Father’s stead,
The melodies climbed but hunger fed.
Guardian cherub with grace etched deep,
Beauty and wisdom secrets to keep,
Yet eyes fixed where dominions sleep,
Longing for thrones carved too steep.
[Chorus]
Before there was light,
Worship stirred beneath the cloak of night,
Stars whispered secrets as the ages breathed in sight.
Heaven watched silent as the cosmos took flight,
But pride wrote a story that turned day into fight.
Before there was light,
Before the earth wore its crown,
Before names were spoken and silence was drowned,
One heart reached to claim the throne on hallowed ground,
Now the morning's bright son is lost, wearing lies like a shroud.
[Verse 2]
Ezekiel’s voice traced sorrow’s line,
A kingdom shining, then bent by design,
Perfection faded where ambition dined,
Trying to craft what wasn’t mine.
Isaiah foresaw the star’s dark dive,
Falling from brilliance, no longer alive,
Heaven’s own fire tried to survive,
Caught in a web where pride will connive.
How do you break in the Maker’s gaze?
How does the flawless lose in the haze?
When the Thrones call out but the heart strays,
And shadows swallow the brightest rays.
This is more than a story’s arch,
Every rebel’s defiant march,
Every crown turning cold and harsh,
Forgetting the hands that shaped the spark.
[Chorus]
Before there was light,
Worship stirred beneath the cloak of night,
Stars whispered secrets as the ages breathed in sight.
Heaven watched silent as the cosmos took flight,
But pride wrote a story that turned day into fight.
Before there was light,
Before the earth wore its crown,
Before names were spoken and silence was drowned,
One heart reached to claim the throne on hallowed ground,
Now the morning's bright son is lost, wearing lies like a shroud.
[Verse 3]
But here comes the turn, a twist in the tale,
Darkness may roar but it can’t derail,
The One who laid stars, who set the sail,
Still holds every spark and every gale.
Colossians said through Him it all formed,
Heavens and earth, every power adorned,
Every song sung, every soul warmed,
By hands unshaken, forever transformed.
So the lesson’s no fear in the thunder’s strike,
But remembering who carved your life,
Pride murmurs still, sharp as a pike,
“You don’t need Him,” but I know what’s right.
I've walked through shadows, scarred by the fight,
I’d bow at His feet, choose the quiet light,
Rather rise for a moment then fall infinite,
Than stand all alone, lost to the night.
[Bridge]
(Choir swells, strings build tension)
The sorrow was never that light was created,
But that the light forgot where it originated.
[Chorus]
Before there was light,
Worship stirred beneath the cloak of night,
Stars whispered secrets as the ages breathed in sight.
Heaven watched silent as the cosmos took flight,
Yet the Lamb still shines like the first bright light.
Before there was light,
Before the earth wore its crown,
Before names were spoken and silence was drowned,
The Maker stands steady, eternal and sound,
His kingdom unshaken when the stars fall down.
[Outro]
(Choir fades, thunder softens)
Before the dawn broke the endless night,
Before the first breath, before the first fight...
Before there was light...
Before There Was Light
