Before the Light Broke Through

Intro (Cinematic — deep choir, thunder, distant angelic whispers): Before the dawn… Before the cry… Heaven held its breath… For the King was nigh… Verse 1 Silence filled the endless skies As angels watched with burning eyes A world in chains, a world undone Longing for the Promised One Darkness ruled the earth below Shadows choked the hearts of souls But Heaven knew what no man knew— Light was rising, breaking through Pre-Chorus (Angels preparing — tension building): Wings unfurled in sacred flame Heaven whispered Jesus’ name Chorus Before the light broke through the night Before His cry split wrong from right The heavens trembled, creation knew A Savior came to make all things new Before the manger, before the star Love was moving, drawing near our scars The world was waiting — longing too For the moment when Love would break through Verse 2 Mary bowed with trembling heart Chosen for God’s holy part “Let it be” — her humble cry Carried the hope of all mankind Joseph wrestled fear and doubt Till God’s own angel called him out “Take her hand, the child is Mine You guard the Savior of mankind” Pre-Chorus Wings unfurled in sacred flame Heaven whispered Jesus’ name Chorus Before the light broke through the night Before His cry split wrong from right The heavens trembled, creation knew A Savior came to make all things new Before the manger, before the star Love was moving, drawing near our scars The world was waiting — longing too For the moment when Love would break through Bridge Shepherds watched the fields that night Just embers glowing low in light THEN HEAVEN TORE THE SKY APART “FEAR NOT! LET PEACE FILL YOUR HEART!” “A CHILD IS BORN — GOD’S HOLY SON!” “The King of Kings — the Promised One!” The host of heaven filled the air With glory none on earth could bear They fell in awe, they rose in praise For Love would come in just moments away Final Chorus Before the light broke through the night Before His cry split wrong from right The heavens trembled, creation knew A Savior came to make all things new Before the manger, before the star Love was moving, drawing near our scars The world was waiting — longing too For the moment when Love would break through Outro (Leading directly into the birth): Footsteps on the Bethlehem stone… A stable breath… a world unknown… Mary whispers… Joseph prays… Heaven leans in… Another heartbeat… Then Love is born.
