The song highlights God's sovereignty over the seas and His ability to part them, referencing the Exodus story. It celebrates Jesus as the Beautiful Savior and the Word of Life who saves from the start. The repeated line about being the song before words were in the heart suggests God's intimate knowledge and love for each person before they could express it.

Older than the nightingale, older than the rain
In Your eyes a thousand years, like a single day
You were before the moon, before the stars
You were the song before the words were in my heart
Older than these broken dreams, older than our pain
At Your Word a promise stands, and it will never break
You made the seas and the waves, and You even let them part
You were the song before the words were in my heart
Beautiful Savior
What a wonderful thing
That when the world is changing
You are still the same
Older than a wounded world, older than the fall
There's a grace still at work, older than it all
You were the Word of Life that saved me from the start
You were the song before the words were in my heart
Yeah, You were the song before the words were in my heart
