In the beginning, into the darkness
The Spirit?s moving upon the waters.
You spoke the words, ?Let there be light!?
Out of the chaos came the promise,
The universe rose and applauded
When You commanded the newborn sun to rise.
You are the Dayspring, You are the Morning Star
Creation?s splendor speaks of who You are
You are salvation, You are the joy of the earth!
Restoration comes, hope of the broken world
Into my weakness, into my darkness
Your Spirit?s moving upon my heart and
You speak the words, ?Let there be light!?
Into my chaos comes Your promise
The new is rising, the old has passed on
You are reviving, and making all things right.
Arise, shine, the glory of the Lord is risen!
Arise, shine, the glory of the Lord is risen!
Arise, shine, the glory of the Lord is risen!
Arise, shine, the glory of the Lord is risen!
