Father I still reflect at times
How You gave my parents signs
Like Gabriel bringing Mary great joy
Like Joseph dreaming of her baby boy
I still remember in the beginning
I felt Mary trying to keep me warm
I heard angels glorify Your Name in song
I saw the star beaming so bright
I saw shepherds bow in honor that night
In the beginning I witnessed Heaven on earth
Father I tried to spread Your Word
You sent the twelve as shepherds
You multiplied loaves to feed the hungry
You knew our last meal would bring agony
I still remember in the beginning
I felt Mary trying to keep me warm
I heard angels glorify Your Name in song
I saw the star beaming so bright
I saw shepherds bow in honor that night
In the beginning I witnessed Heaven on earth
Father
By Your Majesty I carried the cross
By Your Majesty I attacked, and death lost
By Your Majesty I now move this rock away
By Your Majesty I again see the light of day
I still remember in the beginning
I felt Mary trying to keep me warm
I heard angels glorify Your Name in song
I saw the star beaming so bright
I saw shepherds bow in honor that night
In the beginning I witnessed Heaven on earth
In the beginning
