You spoke and light came to be You spoke and carved out the sea You stretched out the heavens, holding the stars in their place You spoke a marvelous plan You spoke, breathed life into man Creation displaying your beauty in wondrous array The sound of your voice echoes forever The sound of your voice holds us together There's nothing more powerful Nothing more glorious Than the sound of your voice You speak calling my name You speak and I'm never the same How my heart thrills as you whisper away all my fear You speak of a kingdom to come You speak of an army of love Who'll go to the nations inviting the broken to hear Come and hear And down through the ages A melody races It chases the darkness away For all who will listen There's hope and forgiveness In love that has conquered the grave
