Before there was Dtime
There were visions in Your Amind
There was death in the fall of manEmkind
But there was life in salvation's deGsign

When You came and took my pGlace

You counted the hairs on my hAead
You knew all the words that I've Emsaid
And You purchased me back from the dGead
Before I was mDade

You numbered all my dEmays
And You set forth the steps I would tGake

Verse 1:

Before there was time

There were visions in Your mind

There was death in the fall of mankind

But there was life in salvation's design

Before there were days

There were nights I could not see Your face

But the night could not keep me from grace

When You came and took my place

Chorus

A G D

So I cry holy only begotten Son of God

Ancient of days

A G D

I cry holy only begotten Son of God

And sing the praises

Of the One who saved me

And the promises He made

Verse 2:

Before there was time

You counted the hairs on my head

You knew all the words that I've said

And You purchased me back from the dead

Before I was made

You searched me and knew my ways

You numbered all my days

And You set forth the steps I would take

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Bm G Bm G

You saved me; You raised me

Bm G Em G

You saved me; You pulled me from the grave

(Chorus)

Before there was time
