He Wrote It First
From seashells on Everest to strands of DNA — every part of creation points to its Creator. A scholarly-friendly worship-pop song about design, the cosmic stretch of the heavens (Job 26:7), the witnesses of the risen Lord, and the One who wrote it all first.

He Wrote It First — Lyrics
Verse 1
From seashells high on Everest, to flesh in dinosaur bone, Still people tell their empty lies, to hide the sin they bear alone. In the cell and in the sky, there's order built to shine, Why not come home to forgiveness, and leave behind your crime? He formed them male and female, A purposeful design, With strands of DNA in such detail, Uniquely yours and mine. Like John who leaped inside the womb, Before he saw the light, Human life is not our toy, But precious in His sight.
Pre-Chorus
And when we bend the truth We bend our hearts away But every tiny part of life Still points to God today
Chorus
He wrote it first He wrote it first Creation speaks His Word He wrote it first He wrote it first And we are not our own
Bridge
He stretches out the northern skies, Across the empty space, He hangs the earth on nothingness, Yet holds it all in place!
Verse 3
Many saw the risen Jesus, Bearing witness through the pain. They would never trade the Gospel, For a worldly crown or gain. For He heals the broken-hearted, He still opens blinded eyes, He still walks into our sorrow, And He makes the dead things rise! JESUS IS LORD! HE IS ALIVE!
Final Chorus
He wrote it first He wrote it first So every knee will bow He wrote it first He wrote it first And He is with us now
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Before stars sparkled or oceans rolled, God spoke and they were. Every flower, every storm, every galaxy — He wrote them in His Word first. The same God who spoke the worlds into being also wrote His promise of rescue through Jesus, who is Himself the living Word.
