Thankful: The Best Of Caedmon's Call cover
07. Before There Was Time
Album: Thankful: The Best Of Caedmon's Call
Artist: Caedmon's Call
         
 

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 couldn't keep me from grace
When You came and took my place

So I cry holy only begotten Son of God (echo God)
Ancient of days
I cry holy only begotten Son of God (echo God)
And sing the praises
Of the One who saved me
And the promises He made

Before there was time
You counted the hairs on my head
You knew all the words 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

You saved me; You raised me
You saved me; You pulled me from the grave

So I cry holy only begotten Son of God
Ancient of days
I cry Holy only begotten Son of God
And sing the praises
Of the one who saved me
And the promises He made
Before there was time



Behind the Song:
'Simply awestruck by the depth and breadth of God's plan and provision, to know that we are in His grasp more tightly than we can possible understand.' - Caedmon's Call
