The Worship Initiative - So Will I (100 Billion X) Lyrics
Lyrics
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
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
So will I
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
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
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
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
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
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

So Will I (100 Billion X) - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
"So Will I (100 Billion X)," as interpreted and performed by The Worship Initiative, emerges as a profound sonic tapestry woven from awe and adoration. While originally released by Hillsong Worship in 2018, The Worship Initiative’s rendition breathes its own distinct life into this powerful declaration of faith. The song’s core message revolves around an overwhelming, universe-encompassing praise for God, so vast it’s measured in “100 billion times,” a cosmic scale of devotion that echoes throughout creation itself. This grand scope finds its scriptural roots in passages like Psalm 148, which calls upon everything in heaven and on earth, from the sun and moon to the mountains and seas, to praise the Lord. The lyrics speak to a personal encounter with God’s greatness, moving from the intimate realization of His power in our lives to the expansive acknowledgment of His sovereignty over all things, much like the Psalmist in Psalm 139, who marveled at the intimate knowledge God had of him, recognizing that this same God was the creator of the cosmos. The musical arrangement, true to The Worship Initiative's style, builds with a deliberate and escalating energy, mirroring the song's lyrical progression from quiet contemplation to an uninhibited outpouring of worship. The instrumentation, often featuring a blend of organic and contemporary sounds, serves to amplify the emotional weight of the lyrics, inviting congregational participation and personal reflection. The song’s strength lies in its ability to translate abstract theological concepts—God’s creative power, His redemptive work, His enduring love—into relatable and worshipful expressions, encouraging listeners to join in this universal chorus of praise, reflecting the command in Philippians 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Ultimately, "So Will I (100 Billion X)" is more than just a song; it is an invitation to participate in an ongoing, creation-wide symphony of worship, a testament to a God whose glory is infinitely beyond our full comprehension, yet intimately known in the heart of every believer.
