[Intro]
(Instrumental: Gentle piano or organ begins)
[Verse 1]
Before the stars found their place to shine,
Before the dawn of measured time,
Your promise echoed, pure and true,
A rescue plan, a world made new.
Then in the stillness, dark and deep,
While weary Bethlehem lay asleep,
You came, Emmanuel, God with us here,
The Word made flesh, dispelling fear.
[Chorus]
Eternal Light, forever bright,
Breaking the chains of endless night.
The same today, the great I AM,
The spotless sacrificial Lamb.
We lift our voices, loud and strong,
To worship You the whole life long.
Oh, Ancient of Days, yet ever near,
We glorify Your name right here!
[Verse 2]
You walked the dust, spoke truth and grace,
Revealed the Father's holy face.
Upon the cross, love's price was paid,
The debt of sin forever stayed.
The stone rolled back, the empty grave,
Proclaimed Your power, strong to save!
Two thousand years have come and gone,
Your victory shines like the morning dawn.
[Chorus]
Eternal Light, forever bright,
Breaking the chains of endless night.
The same today, the great I AM,
The spotless sacrificial Lamb.
We lift our voices, loud and strong,
To worship You the whole life long.
Oh, Ancient of Days, yet ever near,
We glorify Your name right here!
[Bridge]
When shadows fall and strength grows dim,
My failing heart still turns to Him.
Though I may stumble, lose my way,
His hand upholds me day by day.
From every pit, His mercy lifts,
My spirit soars on grace-filled gifts.
The God who came, the God who saves,
Is with me still through all my days!
[Chorus]
Eternal Light, forever bright,
Breaking the chains of endless night.
The same today, the great I AM,
The spotless sacrificial Lamb.
We lift our voices, loud and strong,
To worship You the whole life long.
Oh, Ancient of Days, yet ever near,
We glorify Your name right here!
[Outro]
(Instrumental swell fades gently, choir hums softly underneath, ending on a resolved chord of praise)
