Cross Worship + Osby Berry - So Will I (100 Billion X) / Do It Again Lyrics
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]
And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapor 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
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, voice
[Chorus]
And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath, 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
So will I, so will I
So will I, so will I, so will I
[Bridge]
If the stars were made to worship, so will I
If the mountains- bow in reverence, so will I
Yeah-yeahh
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]
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I- could find it here
Thank You, Lord
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, a billion different ways
Every precious one, a child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them, so will I
[Outro]
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
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
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
You're the One who never leaves the one behind
I've seen You move, You moved the mountains
oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I've seen You move, You moved the mountains
And I believe, I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I'll see You do it again
I'll see You do it again
I'll see You do it again
I'll see You do it again
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence
You've never failed me yet

So Will I (100 Billion X) // Do It Again - Cross Worship ft. Osby Berry
Meaning & Inspiration
There is a point in worship music where the song ceases to be a song and becomes a treadmill. Cross Worship and Osby Berry’s take on “So Will I” walks that line dangerously. As an editor, I look for the lean, the essential, the thing that stops the listener from checking their watch. By the time we hit the outro of this medley, the repetition borders on redundancy—a rhythmic looping that risks diluting the very gravity it seeks to build.
Yet, despite the bloat, the song houses a singular, devastatingly beautiful Power Line: “If the sum of all our praises still falls shy / Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times!”
That line works because it admits defeat before it starts. It acknowledges the fundamental inadequacy of human expression compared to the sheer scope of the Creator. It’s a humble pivot. We aren't singing because we are enough; we are singing because we know we aren't, and we’re willing to spend a lifetime—or a hundred billion lifetimes—trying to bridge that gap.
There is a specific tension in the way they handle the transition from the cosmic to the personal. The lyrics start with galaxies and light, the grand, objective physics of God. Then, they collapse that scale down to the individual: “God of salvation / You chased down my heart through all of my failure and pride.” This echoes Psalm 8, where David looks at the "work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars" and immediately asks, "What is mankind that You are mindful of them?"
When I listen to Osby Berry navigate these verses, I hear an attempt to reconcile the God of the big bang with the God who walks into the mess of a specific, broken human history. That’s the real work of worship—trying to hold the scale of the universe in one hand and the reality of one’s own stubborn heart in the other.
Still, if I were cutting this record, I’d pull back on the final five minutes. The "Do It Again" tag is a different song, a different theology, and it muddies the focus. Worship songs, at their best, are sharp. They should pierce, not saturate. We don’t need a hundred billion choruses to convince the heavens of our sincerity.
Sometimes, the most honest act is to stop singing and let the silence—the silence the rocks are supposedly crying out in—actually exist. We repeat ourselves because we’re afraid that if we stop, the wonder will evaporate. But the wonder doesn't rely on our endurance. It relies on the One who spoke the light into existence in the first place. That’s enough. It’s always been enough.
