Known Before the Beginning

[male vocals] Uyu

mweo

walyafya

ukuusanga,

chisenda

Lesa

to

know

God.

Before

the

foundations

of

the

world

were

laid

You

knew

my

name,

You

knew

the

path

I'd

tread

Deep

in

the

secret

chambers

of

Your

heart

You

drafted

every

chapter

from

the

start

Before

the

morning

stars

began

to

sing

You

knew

the

purpose

that

my

life

would

bring

We

walk

through

time,

a

mystery

to

behold

Within

the

holy

secrets

You

unfold

Yes

Lord,

we

yield

to

Your

sovereign

plan

Guided

by

the

palm

of

Your

steady

hand

You

knew

me

long

before

I

drew

my

breath

You

conquered

every

fear

and

every

death

So

I

will

serve

You

with

a

fire

inside

With

nowhere

left

for

all

my

doubt

to

hide

I’

m

committed

to

the

goal

You

set

for

me

To

live

in

truth

and

let

my

spirit

be

free

Oh,

praise

Him,

for

the

grace

that

pulls

me

through

I’

m

finding

all

my

strength

in

loving

You

I

know

that

seasons

bring

a

heavy

weight

Sometimes

the

clock

moves

at

a

painful

rate

But

I

remember

You

are

not

for

the

weak

You’

re

for

the

humble

and

the

ones

who

seek

True

servants

stand

when

others

turn

away

They

find

the

light

within

the

darkest

day

Glory

to

the

One

who

stays

the

same

I’

ll

never

stop

calling

on

Your

holy

name

You

knew

me

long

before

I

drew

my

breath

You

conquered

every

fear

and

every

death

So

I

will

serve

You

with

a

fire

inside

With

nowhere

left

for

all

my

doubt

to

hide

I’

m

committed

to

the

goal

You

set

for

me

To

live

in

and

let

my

spirit

be

Oh,

Him,

for

the

grace

that

pulls

me

through

I’

m

finding

all

my

strength

in

loving

You

Passion

is

the

fuel

that

keeps

the

vision

clear

Faith

is

the

anthem

silencing

my

fear

Thank

You

Jesus,

for

the

trust

You

place

in

me

I’

ll

be

a

servant

for

eternity

I’

ll

run

the

race,

I’

ll

stand

my

ground

In

Your

grace

is

where

my

heart

is

found

So

let

the

world

spin

in

its

dizzy

haze

I’

m

fixing

my

eyes

upon

Your

higher

ways

To

be

a

servant

is

to

be

refined

Leaving

all

the

temporal

things

behind

Amen,

the

word

is

settled

in

my

soul

You

are

the

center,

You

are

the

goal

and

So

I
