[Verse 1] Before I ever called Your name You already knew mine Before I ever searched for truth Your mercy crossed my timeline Before these hands could offer You One worthy thing to see You weren't waiting for my goodness Your grace was before me [Chorus] Before me Before my promise, before my proof Before I ever knew the truth Before the prayers I finally prayed You had already made a way Before the worst, before the best Before I ever drew a breath I wasn't first to reach for You Your grace was before me [Verse 2] Before the victories I would claim Before the ways I'd fall Before I learned to hide my shame You already saw it all No polished testimony No better man to be Could make You start to love me Your love was before me [Verse 3] Chosen before foundations Adopted by Your will Redeemed before I understood The blood upon that hill An inheritance I couldn't earn Your Spirit sealing me Every blessing found in Christ Was waiting before me [Chorus] Before me Before my promise, before my proof Before I ever knew the truth Before the prayers I finally prayed You had already made a way Before the worst, before the best Before I ever drew a breath I wasn't first to reach for You Your grace was before me [Verse 4] So why am I still measuring The distance I have run? Why do I keep auditioning For what Your Son has done? I don't have to manufacture A worth You chose to see The story didn't start with me Your grace was before me [Bridge] Before my failure Before my fear Before I wondered If You were near Before my running Before my shame Before I knew You You knew my name [Final Chorus] Before me Before my promise, before my proof Before I ever knew the truth Before the prayers I finally prayed You had already made a way Before the worst, before the best Before I ever drew a breath I wasn't first to reach for You Your grace was before me [Outro] Before I ever called Your name You already knew mine The story didn't start with me It started in Your heart Before mine
