Before there was
An empty tomb
You saw me in
My mother’s womb

Before you ever
Rose from the grave
You came for my
Soul to save

Before you died
The horrible death
You saw me take
My first breath

Before you hung
On a cross
You saw
My first loss

Before you ever
Had to die
You knew when
I would first cry

Before I knew to
Exalt thee
You knew my
First memory

Before I opened
My little eyes
You knew that one
Day I would realize

Before you one day
I will stand
And you will hold
Out your hand

Before I knew you were
The one to please
You knew that one day
For you I would be on my knees

Before I lifted up
My hands up high
You were the one
Who built the sky

Before I ever sang
A worship song
You were there
To keep me strong

Before I knew of
Your great plans
Your already forgave
Me for my sins

Before I ever ran from
You to try to hide
Later you would help
Me when I fall in stride

Before I ever heard
Of your name
You knew I would
Soon hear of your fame

Before I went through
All my pain
You knew my loss
Would become my gain

Before I learned I
Ever be your servant
You loved me with no complaint

Before I got all
The crap inside me
You knew exactly
Who I would be

Before I knew my
Life had a reason
For me you chose
Me treason

Before I knew of
Your revolution
You came as
Your own creation

Before I knew of
Any lonesome
You said you would forever
Gimme a home in your kingdom

Before I knew you
As a father
You knew I would still
Sometimes waver

Before I knew you
Said “follow me”
You knew one day to
Your promise I would agree
