When God was young and He could do anything
Like make the devil dance and make the angels sing
He made the stars appear out of the vast abyss
So we could gaze in wonder on a night like this
When God was young

When God was young and undefined
There was but one thought in His mind
To let it all unfold until our hearts could see
The beauty of His majesty
When God was young

It's in the cold geometry of empty space
It's in the warm surrender in my lover's face
It's in this song I sing, it's in the pain we feel
When God was young, he knew He had to make it real
When God was young

When God was young, there was a fearsome calm
And in His heart the secret of the atom bomb
Lay in the dark. Waiting patiently.
For it's time to come when it was meant to be

When God was young, before the waters came
Before the earth took shape and fire found its flame
He knew the curve of every unborn child's face
When God was young, He must have said I think I'll keep this place
When God was young
