Before the Dawn
The stars beyond the sky
Still pour it down
Till days dissolve the nights
They turn around
No human speech
Or words contain
What every galaxy proclaims
For eyes to see
And ears to hear
The stars exclaim
Year after year
With speech that keeps on
Pouring down like rain
The glory that the world
Cannot contain
Before the dawn
Before the sun
You always are
The only one
Before the stars
Began to shine
Your love was mine
Before the dawn
Of time
The nations of the earth
Will sing His praise
Lest ancient stones cry out
And put the sons
Of men to shame
The King of glory came
And healed the leper and the lame
Made eyes to see
And ears to hear
The words of life
To cast out fear
His love for us keeps
Pouring down like rain
With glory that the world
Cannot contain
Before the dawn
Before the sun
You always are
The only one
Before the stars
Began to shine
Your love was mine
Before the dawn
Of time
Let all who follow Him
Together rise
Abandon all for Him
And every sinful way despise
Together bringing praise
We will assemble in the skies
Our hearts and minds
And eyes begin to shine
With joy that keeps on growing
Overflowing all the time
With glory He had planned for us
Before the dawn of time
Before the dawn
Before the sun
You always are
The only one
Before the stars
Began to shine
Your love was mine
Before the dawn
Of time
[The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse
is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Whoever has ears, let them hear. Matthew 13:43]
