Verse 1
I was chasing every road that led nowhere
Trying to fill a heart that stayed empty there
Carrying the weight of my own mistakes
Building walls that Your mercy broke away
Pre-Chorus
When I couldn’t find the light
You were standing by my side
Chorus
You loved me first before I knew Your name
Before I called for help, You carried all my pain
Through every storm, through every scar
You never let me drift too far
Now every beat inside my chest
Belongs to You, the One who knows me best
I’ll spend my life lifting Your worth
’Cause You loved me first
Verse 2
I’ve seen mountains move when I fell to my knees
I’ve felt Your peace rush over me like a breeze
When the world said I was too far gone
You kept singing hope into my soul all along
Pre-Chorus
Every blessing, every breath
Is a gift I won’t forget
Chorus
You loved me first before I knew Your name
Before I called for help, You carried all my pain
Through every storm, through every scar
You never let me drift too far
Now every beat inside my chest
Belongs to You, the One who knows me best
I’ll spend my life lifting Your worth
’Cause You loved me first
Bridge
I’m just a man, but in Your hands
You turn my failures into plans
You write redemption in my story
All for Your glory, all for Your glory
And when my days on earth are through
The last song that I sing is You
Final Chorus
You loved me first before I knew Your name
Before I called for help, You carried all my pain
Now I stand redeemed and free
Because Your grace keeps holding me
Every heartbeat, every word
Will tell the world of what I’ve learned
No greater love upon this earth
You loved me first
Outro
You loved me first…
And I’ll love You forever.
