[Verse 1]

Before there was anything

I loved you endlessly

There are no words to make way for this truth

This love for you inside of Me

And if I paint a sky with bronze

Or blanket you with stars

It’s not enough to prove to you

This love inside My heart


[Chorus 1]

What if I knit you together

Inside your mother, with artistry?

Crafted in My very image

Because I need you here with Me


[Verse 2]

What if I gave everything

Just to have you close to Me?

What if My love was the only truth

Would you believe it could set you free?


[Chorus 2]

There isn’t anything

That you could ever do

Not death nor life, not depth nor height

Can ever take My love from you, from you


[Bridge]

There is no greater love than this

That a man should lay his life

Down for his friends

And though I already have

I’d do it all again


[Verse 3]

Regenerative are My bones and My skin

My nerves are dismayed by intrusion

Yet if you're gone, for short or for long

It all aches with no sought restitution


[Chorus 3]

I would do anything for you

It’s obvious and in plain view

Like the life that I’ve laid before you

Everything that I’ve done is for you


[Verse 4]

So look for me with open eyes

Knock and I will open the door

I have loved you before there was time

And I will love you forever more
