[Intro]
[low vocal register]In the chaos
In the quiet
In the questions I have carried for years
I hear an old voice
Still and steady
Calling through the pages
Through my tears
[Verse 1]
You were walking in the garden in the cool of the day
Breath on the dust
Gave a heartbeat its name
You were thunder on the mountain
Fire in the cloud
Command on the stone
Yet You spoke it out loud
[Chorus]
You are Alpha and Omega
From the first word to the last
Every promise
Every altar
Every shadow that You cast
From the manger to the mercy seat
From the river to the throne
God of Abraham and Mary
I have found that You are one
[soaring choir]Jesus
Holy One
[Verse 2]
You were standing in the furnace with the smoke in our lungs
Lion in the den when the night felt long
You were weeping in the garden with the cup in Your hands
Lamb on the hill
Nails through Your plans
[Pre-Chorus]
From the scrolls and the stories
To the scars in Your side
Every line
Every legend
Is Your heart
Opened wide
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]In the flood
You remembered
In the famine
You fed
In the exile
You were speaking
When we thought You were dead
[crescendo]In the silence between testaments
You were counting every breath
Till a baby cried in Bethlehem
And You broke the back of death
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Strings like a river
Still and shining
Choir fading
But Your word holds on
From the first Let there be
To the final It is done
You have always
Always been
The only One
