Written Before Time
Verse 1
Before the stars were set in place
Before the dust was breathed to life
You knew our names, You made a way
Your mercy written before time
The pages tell what faith reveals
A love that tears the darkness wide
This broken world still bears the seal
Of hope You bought with blood and light
Pre-Chorus
When we were lost, You did not turn away
You called us out by name
Chorus
Our names are written in the Book of Life
No fear of death, no power of the night
The Lamb was slain, yet rose in victory
Restoring what was lost to eternity
This moment’s pain is fading fast
An endless glory waits at last
We lift our eyes, our hope is sure
The Book of Life forever secure
⸻
Verse 2
You leave the ninety-nine behind
To find the one the world forgot
Through every storm, through every night
Your voice still echoes, “You are Mine”
You stood before the sealed-up grave
And called the dead to breathe again
Lazarus rose at heaven’s name
Death has no rule, no final say
Pre-Chorus
The stone was rolled, the grave undone
The battle’s already won
Chorus
Our names are written in the Book of Life
No fear of death, no power of the night
The Lamb was slain, yet rose in victory
Restoring what was lost to eternity
This moment’s pain is fading fast
An endless glory waits at last
We lift our eyes, our hope is sure
The Book of Life forever secure
⸻
Bridge
This light affliction will not remain
It’s only momentary, passing flame
Compared to glory yet to be revealed
A weight so vast, so rich, so real
From dust to crown, from cross to throne
We are forever fully known
(Build)
From every tear You’ve wiped away
To every promise that still stands
Your grace was given before our days
Held in the hollow of Your hands
⸻
Chorus (Final)
Our names are written in the Book of Life
No fear of death, no power of the night
The Lamb who reigns for all eternity
Redeems the lost, restores humanity
This broken world will pass away
But Your Word and Kingdom stay
We lift our voice, our hope is sure
The Book of Life forever secure
⸻
Outro
He who was, and is, and is to come
The beginning and the end as One
We will stand when time is gone
Our names still written, written on
