I Knew You Before

Verse 1: Before the stars had named the sky, Before the earth began to cry, I knew you, child, I knew your name, I called you forth, you’re not the same. In the quiet of the secret place, I saw your heart, I knew your grace, I formed your hands, I shaped your soul, You were my dream, my perfect goal. Chorus: I knew you before I formed you, In your mother’s womb, I held you true. You are my love, my heart, my song, From the start, you’ve always belonged. Oh, I knew you, yes, I knew you, I knew you, my child, I knew you. Verse 2: Through every storm, through every fight, I was with you, I gave you light, I watched you grow, I saw your tears, I was with you all through the years. When you were lost and couldn’t see, I whispered softly, “Come to me.” I knew your pain, I knew your fears, But still, my love has held you near. Chorus: I knew you before I formed you, In your mother’s womb, I held you true. You are my love, my heart, my song, From the start, you’ve always belonged. Oh, I knew you, yes, I knew you, I knew you, my child, I knew you. Bridge: I knew you in the quiet night, Before you saw the morning light. I knew your steps before you walked, I knew your voice before you talked. I knew your heart, I knew your dream, My love for you is like a stream. Flowing forever, never apart, You’ve always been the desire of my heart. Chorus: I knew you before I formed you, In your mother’s womb, I held you true. You are my love, my heart, my song, From the start, you’ve always belonged. Oh, I knew you, yes, I knew you, I knew you, my child, I knew you. Outro: I knew you, I knew you, Before the world began to move, I knew you, my child, I knew you.
