It opens with God speaking light into existence, then moves to the cross where Jesus absorbed violence and conquered death, restoring life. The lyrics emphasize that love cannot be silenced or stopped, and that Christ is present in darkness. The song traces the journey from Eden to Eden, pointing to eternal home.

Love
Started this whole thing
In the beginning
A voice to the void
Spoke
Into existence
A life that's worth living
And it still echoes on
Let there be
Let there be light
Let there be light
Light in the darkness
Light all around us
Let there be light
Let there be light
Light in the darkness
Light all around us
Love
Wept here beside us
Absorbed every violence
With a crown and a cross
He spoke
One final sentence
Death was rescinded
And we were restored
Let there be life
Let there be life
Life in the darkness
Life all around us
Let there be life
Let there be life
Life in the darkness
Life all around us
Love
Couldn't be silenced
Couldn't stay secret
Couldn't be stopped
He lives
Our song and our freedom
From Eden to Eden
And all the way home
Sing that verse again
Couldn't be silenced
Love
Couldn't be silenced
Couldn't stay secret
Couldn't be stopped
He lives
Our song and our freedom
From Eden to Eden
And all the way home
Let there be Christ
Let there be Christ
Christ in the darkness
Christ all around us
Let there be Christ
Let there be Christ
Christ in the darkness
Christ all around us
One more time
Let there be Christ
Let there be Christ
Christ in the darkness
Christ all around us
Let there be Christ
Let there be Christ
Christ in the darkness
Christ all around us
Love
Couldn't be silenced
Couldn't stay secret
Couldn't be stopped
He lives
Our song and our freedom
From Eden to Eden
And all the way home
