Was the Word

In the beginning was the Word, it was a word from Him Rewind the world spinning He said let the world spin But first there was darkness, abyss, void and night The first thing that He said was Let there be light Light flooded the night like a match at its strike Now despite of the night the light, it wouldn't back down Back now to how the world was made Where were we? Oh yes, the second day He formed the Earth with His own two hands Mountains and valleys at His very command Demanding a home to appear A glorious place where His own could draw near The Son said Father we're still not finished Let Us make man in Our own image Then out of dust man took his first breath Then He raised us and gave us a choice, life or death But when the choice was given Darkness allured me with attraction I walked straight into a prison The door was locked at my distraction I looked away, fell And mercy responded with the promise of grace I'll bring you back to Myself When the Advocate takes your place This is my beloved Son He'll conquer your keeper with surrender Like a lover desperate for his love He'll fight to free her and defend her, yeah I see you were compelled Now yell loud with desperation He'll take your place in the cell The hell of separation In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God And the Word was sent To save a sinning running friend He'd lost To heal the broken-hearted And to make things right To the darkness dawns a light This isn't just a story of man coming to the light And then putting their life in God's hand No! This is His story of a truth and a life And the way that God came to man He'd be giving up His glory, giving up up His throne Doing what He's never done before So that He could write me a story And then give me a home And then show me that there's so much more I am His beloved Son I'll conquer your keeper with surrender Like a lover desperate for his love I'll fight to free her, and defend her yeah I see you were compelled Now yell loud with desperation I'll take your place in the cell The hell of separation The walls between us they are floor bound That's what He's got in store now But for now our image has been torn down So we have to wait For the Advocate To take our place In the beginning was the Word And the Word made the world But in the beginning of our story It starts with a girl
