Lyrics
1
Before the light shown its face upon the dark
Your love commanded holy symphonies
Before the mountains however ancient they may seem
Upon your throne you sang set my people free
With the stars you were never so content
Till you?d drawn prophetic pictures in the sky
You?ve seen the Earth and all its ages
The saints and all the sages you see them born
And you?re still around to see them die
Chorus
Before I took my first breath
You tell me you had known me
When asked what is thy name
You say I Am That I Am
Further than eternity
Yet closer than my next breath
Oh the wonder of you
Before forever there was you
2
You alone are the Ancient of Days
Great things you?ve done that I can?t comprehend
You know the balance of the clouds
You wore them as a shroud
Gathered the waters you made the mockingbird to sing
Who was there when you laid the foundation of the earth
Is there another that gives new birth
3
Show me the one who made the sun the one who came and died for me
Is there another that put the stars in the heavens
Show me a peace that comes to me when my heart is broken
When my soul screams in agony
Show me a god that gives me his own life and spirit
One who made my blind eyes to see
In all the heavens, in all the earth, and under the earth
There is none like you
