Before the first (So Glorious)

[mattosgood]

OK confession time, this isn't actually my song! It's by a friend of mine, Kieran Metcalfe, and I think it's a corker. We've used it at our church a few times and it seems to have really caught on.

Here's the lyrics - if you want chords, lead sheet and a backing track, you can get them all free from http://www.resoundworship.org/song/before_the_first_so_glorious

VERSE 1
Before the first, beyond the last,
the ever-reigning one;
age to age, the one who was,
the one who is and is to come, oh Lord.

CHORUS 1
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Living, eternal one, you are so glorious.

VERSE 2
You hung the stars, rolled out the skies
and set the earth in place.
All the works your hand has made
reflect your glory, sing your praise, oh Lord.

CHORUS 2
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Maker of heaven and earth, you are so glorious.

BRIDGE
Who can meet your gaze, bear to see your face,
stand before you in the holiest place, the holiest place?

VERSE 3
Yet here we stand, amazed by grace,
for, by the light of your Son,
lost are found, the weak made strong
and broken hearts rejoice as one, and sing:

CHORUS 3
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Living, eternal one, maker of heaven and earth,
treasure of infinite worth,
you are so glorious.
