Cross Worship - So Will I (100 Billion X) 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

So Will I (100 Billion X) // Do It Again - Cross Worship ft. Osby Berry
Meaning & Inspiration
"So Will I (100 Billion X)," released by Cross Worship featuring Osby Berry on September 19, 2018, is a powerful anthem that echoes with the immensity of God’s creation and His enduring faithfulness. The song draws deeply from a wellspring of biblical truth, transforming theological concepts into a relatable and awe-inspiring declaration of faith. At its core, the song is an exploration of divine sovereignty and the pervasive nature of God’s presence throughout all of existence, from the cosmic scale to the intimate details of our lives. The title itself, referencing "100 billion X," immediately evokes the vastness of the universe, a concept the song uses to illustrate the boundless reach and power of God. This aligns with passages like Psalm 19:1, which states, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands," and Colossians 1:16, declaring that "for by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created and through him and for him." The lyrics poetically paint a picture of creation itself singing praise, from the stars in the sky to the depths of the ocean, mirroring the psalmist’s call to worship: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!" (Psalm 150:6).
The true power of "So Will I" lies in its skillful weaving of this grand cosmic perspective with the deeply personal. It moves from the overwhelming majesty of God’s handiwork to the individual’s response of unwavering devotion. The song’s message emphasizes that just as all of creation testifies to God, so too should the believer’s life. It speaks to a commitment to follow and praise God, regardless of circumstances, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 86:12, where David proclaims, "I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever." The repeated affirmation, "So will I," becomes a personal covenant, a surrender to God’s will and a commitment to living a life that reflects His glory. This echoes the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:19-20, to go and make disciples, and the broader call to holiness found throughout Scripture. The song’s intent is clearly to inspire a renewed sense of wonder at God’s power and a deepened resolve to live in response to that understanding. It’s a musical invitation to align one’s own life and worship with the grand narrative of God’s redemptive work, ensuring that the believer’s “yes” to God is as vast and encompassing as the universe He created.
