Story Behind The Song

A sung sprung forth through prayer and meditation.

Song Description

This song situates around a person who is meditating about their calling. The Lord has instructed them they have been "called" before they were even born to the work He has set before them. God has ordained them and has always held that relationship with high regard.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Before I formed you, I knew you
Before you were born, I sanctified you
Before you could know who you were
I ordained you
You were set apart for My glory
So all would know My story
And I gave you My Word
To live in My Word, holy

CHORUS
I knew you
I knew you
You were Mine from the start
You were Mine in My heart
I knew you
I knew you
I knew you
I'll never let you go
I'll always love you so
I knew you

VERSE 2
But Lord I can't speak, I have no place
And Lord I'm afraid, to look on their face
What You command me to say
I will do and obey
For You knew me
You have put Your Word in my mouth
And Lord, it's You, I have no doubt
You have put forth Your hand
And touched me
I can't hold out

BRIDGE
You have set me over nations
You have set me over kingdoms
In Your plan
To root out, to pull down
Destroy, to throw out
But to build and to plant

You knew me
You knew me
I am Yours from the start
I am Yours in my heart
You knew me
You knew me
And I'll never let You go
And I'll always love You so
You knew me
(repeat chorus and ad lib ending)
