[Verse 1]
Before the spark
Only dark on dark
Nothing moved
Not a single mark
Then a voice
Like a thousand storms
Tore the veil
Ripped a brand-new form
Light split the black
Like a burning spear
Day
Night
Collide
And the chaos clears
Waters fall back
To a shouted name
Sky pulled high
By a blazing flame
[Chorus]
In the beginning
Fire and word
Every silence shattered when it stirred
From empty void to roaring sky
One scream of glory
Worlds collide
In the beginning
Dust and breath
Life came dancing out of death
From formless deep to garden green
Six days of thunder start the dream
[Verse 2]
Ground rose up
From the churning flood
Barren dust
Waiting on its blood
Seed in the soil
Fruit on the bone
Forests wake
To a whispered tone
Sun takes watch
Over day’s wild run
Moon holds tight
To the fleeing sun
Stars ignite
Like a thousand eyes
Host of flame
Guarding ancient skies
[Chorus]
In the beginning
Fire and word
Every silence shattered when it stirred
From empty void to roaring sky
One scream of glory
Worlds collide
In the beginning
Dust and breath
Life came dancing out of death
From formless deep to garden green
Six days of thunder start the dream
[Bridge]
Beast and bird
Claw and feather fly
River veins
Cut the earth in lines
Then from the clay
Comes a living shout (hey!)
Image of the Maker
Standing out
Given the ground
Given breath to sing
Given the crown
Over everything
But in the cool
Of the fading day
Footsteps call a wanderer
Back God’s way (come back!)
[Chorus]
In the beginning
Fire and word
Every silence shattered when it stirred
From empty void to roaring sky
One scream of glory
Worlds collide
In the beginning
Dust and breath
Life came dancing out of death
From formless deep to garden green
Six days of thunder
Still they ring
