VERSE 1 — The Fall in the Garden A whisper in the garden, a question in the air, A reaching for the knowledge that was never meant to bear. The fruit shone like a promise, but it broke the world instead, And innocence fell trembling as the light of Eden fled. VERSE 2 — East of Eden The ground cried out with sorrow as the gates were closed behind, Thorns rose up in silence where the river once had shined. Yet even in the exile, a promise softly stayed— A seed would crush the serpent, a hope that wouldn’t fade. CHORUS — The Light That Will Not Die Through the shadows, through the sorrow, Through the tears we can’t deny, There’s a promise still unfolding, There’s a star that splits the sky. From the garden to the manger, From the curse to heaven’s cry— The Light the darkness hunted Is the Light that will not die. VERSE 3 — Cain and Abel Two brothers brought their offerings, two hearts laid bare to see, One lifted up in worship, one tangled in envy. The ground again bore witness as Abel’s blood was spilled, Yet mercy marked the wanderer with grace he couldn’t kill. VERSE 4 — The Child Pursued A star rose over Judah, a King of ancient line, But Herod feared the promise and sought to end the sign. An angel warned of danger, so Joseph fled by night— To Egypt with the Holy Child, the world’s redeeming Light. BRIDGE — The Thread Through Every Wound From Eden’s fall to Abel’s cry, From Herod’s rage to Egypt’s flight, The story bends toward mercy’s throne, A wounded world not left alone. The Child who faced the tyrant’s sword Will break the curse forevermore. FINAL CHORUS — The Light That Will Not Die Through the shadows, through the sorrow, Through the tears we can’t deny, There’s a promise still unfolding, There’s a star that splits the sky. From the garden to the manger, From the curse to heaven’s cry— The Light the darkness hunted Is the Light that will not die. TAG The Light that will not die… The Light that will not die.
