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
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

Meaning & Inspiration
"So Will I (100 Billion X)" moves from the vastness of the universe to the cross, tracing one argument: if creation cannot help but respond to its Maker, neither can the singer. The opening verses picture galaxies forming in an instant and stars burning as though lit for worship, close to Psalm 19's claim that the heavens declare God's glory without a single word spoken.
The song then turns from the impersonal scale of "a hundred billion galaxies" to the personal work of the cross, describing a hill where "the light of the world" was "abandoned in darkness to die." That shift echoes Romans 1:20, where the God revealed in creation is also revealed in redemption. The line "If the rocks cry out in silence so will I" recalls Jesus' words in Luke 19:40, that stones would cry out in praise if people stayed quiet.
By the closing verses the focus narrows again, from "eight billion different ways" of humanity down to one surrendered life choosing to answer God's self-giving love with its own.
