Before
the World Was
It was
nothing, nothing at all,
Not a
shining star in sight. Pitch darkness.
No eyes
to see,
No ears
to hear,
No
laughter, no tears,
No sun
to arise with beams of warmth,
No
moonlit night.
The
earth was not earth, but a formless mass.
No
waters to reflect,
No sky
to stretch wide,
No seeds
to sprout,
No
breath to rise.
Time was
unborn.
The
void, vast and silent,
Held no
song, no name, no flame.
But God
was there.
Infinite.
Present.
Not
hidden—but waiting.
With
Word unspoken,
And love unfailing.
He
hovered—like breath before speech.
He
dreamed light.
He
imagined oceans.
He
traced mountains.
He knew
you.
Before
the first dawn.
Before
the world was.
Then His
voice—
Like
thunder wrapped in mercy—
Pierced
the deep.
“Let
there be light.”
The
silence broke.
Waters
ran.
Colors
bloomed.
Stars shone like new.
And from
the dust,
He
shaped a soul.
Even
then,
The Lamb
was known—
Slain
before time,
Waiting
to awaken the broken.
He saw
your story.
He
carried your name.
Even
then,
You were
loved.
