[MATTHEW]
In the beginning was the Word
It was a word from Him
Rewind the world spinning
He said let the world spin
But first there was darkness
Abyss, void and night
The first thing that He said was
[THE FATHER]
Let there be light
[MATTHEW]
Light flooded the night
Like a match at its strike
Now despite of the night the light
It wouldn't back down
[MISS MAGDALENE]
Back now to how the world was made
Where were we? Oh yes, the second day
[MATTHEW]
He formed the Earth
With His own two hands
Mountains and valleys
At His very command
[PETER]
Demanding a home to appear
A glorious place
Where His own could draw near
The Son said-
[JESUS]
Father We’re still not finished
Let Us make man in Our own image
[PETER]
Then out of dust man took his first breath
Then He raised us and gave us a choice
Life or death
[THE PEOPLE]
But when the choice was given
Darkness allured me with attraction
I walked straight into a prison
The door was locked at my distraction
I looked away, fell
And mercy responded
With the promise of grace
[THE FATHER]
I'll bring you back to Myself
When the Advocate takes your place
This is My beloved Son
He’ll conquer your keeper with surrender
Like a lover desperate for his love
He’ll fight to free her and defend her, yeah
I see you were compelled
Now yell loud with desperation
He'll take your place in the cell
In the hell of separation
[PETER]
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was sent
To save a sinning running friend He'd lost
To heal the brokenhearted
And to make things right
To the darkness, dawns a light
[MATTHEW]
This isn't just a story of man
Coming to the light
And then putting their life in God’s hands
[MATTHEW & MISS MAGDALENE]
No!
This is His story of a truth and a life
[MISS MAGDALENE]
And the way that God came to man
[MATTHEW]
Cuz’ He'd be giving up His glory
Giving up His throne
Doing what He's never done before
So that He could write me a story
And then give me a home
[MATTHEW & THE PEOPLE]
And then show me that there's so much more
[JESUS]
I am His beloved Son
I'll conquer your keeper with surrender
Like a lover desperate for his love
I’ll fight to free her and defend her yeah
I see you were compelled
Now yell loud with desperation
I'll take your place in the cell
The hell of separation
[THE PEOPLE]
The walls between us, they are floor bound
That's what He's got in store now
But for now our image has been torn down
So we have to wait
For the Advocate
To take our place
[MATTHEW]
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word made the world
But in the beginning of our story
It starts with a girl
