Before I Was Born
David Haas · Other Songs - David Haas
||: you kept me alive long before I was born. :||
1. You have sought me out and found me.
You know where I sit or stand.
You know the depths of my heart whenever I move or rest.
||: You find me wherever I am. :||
2. Before the word comes from my mouth, you know what I want to say.
You come close to me. You lay your hand upon me.
||: All of this is too much for me. :||
3. How can I ever hide from you? Where can I run from you?
Above and below -- you are there. To the dawn or to the sea -- you are there.
||: Your hand will guide my way. :||
4. You have created every inch of me. You have knit me to my mother's womb. You have record of all my days, long before they ever began.
||: How amazing your thoughts , O God. :||
