Verse 1 (Male) Before the mountains found their name, Before the sea embraced the shore, The Author wrote the final page, Then stepped inside the story's war. He wore the dust that He designed, He felt the weight that should be mine. Verse 2 (Female) No jeweled crown adorned His brow, No army marched beneath His hand. A carpenter from Galilee Outshone the glory of all kings. The heavens watched in silent awe... The Maker walked among His own. Pre-Chorus (Together) The veil grew thin... The hour drew near... Love would speak When hope disappeared. Chorus Lift your eyes above the thunder. See the dawn beyond the grave. Every kingdom fades to ashes, Still His kingdom stands unchanged. Every promise, every prophet, Every shadow found its flame. He did not come to seize a throne... He came to give His life away. Verse 3 (Male) The nails were forged by human hands, Yet mercy held them where they lay. The darkest hour history knew Could never steal eternal day. The earth stood still beneath the cross, While heaven counted every cost. Bridge (Female → Choir joins) The stone remembers... The garden knows... The grave surrendered Its borrowed hold. Death lost its claim, Night lost its voice, The Lamb arose— Let all rejoice! Instrumental Break (Choir: "Holy... Holy... Holy..." rising behind orchestra and guitar) Final Chorus (Male, Female & Choir) Lift your eyes above the thunder. Hear creation now proclaim: Every star and every nation Bears the witness of His name. From the first breath given to Adam To the trumpet yet to sound, Every knee shall bow before Him, Every tongue confess Him crowned. Not by power, not by splendor, Not by sword or earthly fame... But the King who wore our sorrows Walked into the grave... And walked away. Outro (Choir) Forever reigning... Forever true... The King who walked away... Is coming back for You.
