Long before the stars lit the nite sky
and the planets danced around the sun;
before I made my very first cry
and learned about all your love had done

In your love, you planned for me.

Your crazy love stretches far beyond
the distance from the east to the west.
It is brighter than the morning dawn;
stronger than any empire’s conquest.

In your love, you chose me.

You rest your feet upon the planets
and are dressed in brilliant light.
The sun obeys when to rise and set
and by your breath the mountains ignite.

In your love, you draw me close.

You are the King without a shadow
and you invite me before your throne.
Ashamed and guilty of all you know;
yet you changed me and call me your own.

In your love, you saved me.

When I stumble and flee from you to hide,
your Spirit can always find me.
Even when I sin, you’re by my side.
Humbled, I delight in your mercy.

In your love, you heal me.

When I close my eyes in that final sleep,
and walk through the gates of gold.
The beauty of your Glory makes me weep,
for you are a wonder to behold.

Because of His love, I will live.
