Lyrics
VERSE 1:
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light
CHORUS 1:
And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapour of Your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You've made
Every burning star a signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises so will I
VERSE 2:
God of Your promise
You don't speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once You have spoken
All nature and science
Follow the sound of Your voice
CHORUS 2:
And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You said
If it all reveals Your nature so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky a canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You so will I
BRIDGE:
If the stars were made to worship so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so will I
If the wind goes where You send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times
VERSE 3:
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
CHORUS 3:
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You've done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender so will I
I can see Your heart eight billion different ways
Every precious one a child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them so will I
TAG:
Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You're the One who never leaves the one behind

Meaning & Inspiration
Between its cosmic opening and its closing image of the one person Christ does not leave behind, So Will I (100 Billion X) connects creation, worship, and redemption. The stars, planets, mountains, oceans, and wind all become signs of God’s speaking power. The central response—“so will I”—places human worship within the praise already pictured throughout creation.
The final section turns from the majesty of the universe to the cross and empty grave. Failure, pride, surrender, and salvation are gathered into a single confession of Christ’s love. The closing line about not leaving the one behind recalls Jesus’ image of seeking a lost sheep. The song thus holds together God’s vast creative authority and His particular care for each person, presenting worship as a fitting answer to both creation and redemption.
