BEFORE THE DAY
Before the light
Before the world revovled around the sun
God on high
Stepped down into time
And wrote the story of His love for everyone
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember
You and I were made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free
When you and I embrace surrender
When you and I choose to believe
Then you and I will see who we were meant to be
All we are
And all we have
Is all a gift from God that we receive
Brought to life
We open our eyes
To see the majesty and glory of the King
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember…
Even the rocks cry out
Even the heavens shout
At the sound of His holy name
So let every voice sing out
Let every knee bow down
He is worthy of all our praise

Biblical Message
Isaiah 43:7 connects humanity with God’s glory. Romans 12:1 describes surrendered lives as worship, and Luke 19:40 says even stones would cry out if praise were silenced.
Reflection
Worship is larger than music. It includes receiving life as a gift and returning our work, relationships, choices, and praise to God.
