[Intro] Too my babies.... T.Y.S.O.N [Soft piano opening, quiet spoken‑ad‑lib under] Before you drew your first breath… God already knew your name… This is for all my babies… Every last one of you… "Let It Go!" [Verse 1] Long before I ever held you, long before I knew your face Long before the world had its way, long before the hard days God had a rhythm written down, before we walked the earth Before the struggle, before the hurt, before the broken worth He chose me to be your father, to love you through the storm Even when the walls went up, even when the doors were torn I gave my all to clear my name, gave all I had to fight Slept on cold ground, knelt four long years, prayed through every night. [Vocal Snap] "Just Remember..." [Chorus] There’s a rhythm before your birth — mercy laid it down first Not by what I did, not by what I earned, just the love God placed in this earth To every child He gave to me — my heart still reaches out No matter how far the distance be — my love still finds you out There’s a rhythm before your birth — mercy laid it down first God knew you were mine, before the world began to turn. [Verse 2] Some of you are here beside me, grown and walking strong Some are far away from my arms, where the days are long I never stopped believing, never stopped to call your name Even when the lies were spoken, even when the walls remained I lost my home, I lost my all, I bowed down to the Lord He pulled me from the broken place, gave me a new reward Now I lift my voice in song, to tell you what I know God had a plan for every soul, long before we had to go... You get it? [Bridge] [Falsetto, Emotional Swell] It wasn’t by my goodness… It wasn’t by my might… It was mercy, from the start… Even when the road got dark… I love you — every single one… God knew you were my children… before the rising sun… [Verse 3] I’m still reaching out to you, even at this stage of days Time moves fast, and years slip through, but my love never fades God chose us for each other, before we drew our breath He wove our bond together — nothing can break what He hath set I sing this song to tell you — my heart is still right here No matter where your feet may be, know your father holds you dear. [Vocal Snap] "Just Remember..." [Chorus] There’s a rhythm before your birth — mercy laid it down first Not by what I did, not by what I earned, just the love God placed in this earth To every child He gave to me — my heart still reaches out No matter how far the distance be — my love still finds you out There’s a rhythm before your birth — mercy laid it down first God knew you were mine, before the world began to turn. [Outro] T.Y.S.O.N [Soft fading piano, vocal ad‑libs] Rhythm before your birth… Mercy laid it down first… To all my babies… I love you… In Jesus’ name… [END]
