Lyrics
You were at first,
You were present at the beginning
Delight of the father,
You were a source of joy and pride to God
Eternally loved,
You were loved by God eternally
And filled with His honor,
You were adorned with His glory and respect
In wisdom you spoke,
You spoke wisely
And created with kindness,
You created things with compassion
To share in your life,
To participate in your existence and resemble you
And be made in your likeness,
To be fashioned in your image
You knew it from the start
God foresaw human unfaithfulness
That I would be unfaithful,
The acknowledgment of human fallibility
You made me with your heart,
God created humans with His own compassionate heart
So I would be able,
To grant humans the ability to seek and understand His nature
To find out who you are,
To discover the divine nature of Jesus
The king born in the stable,
Reference to Jesus' birth in humble surroundings
The true light in the dark,
Jesus is the genuine source of illumination in darkness
A love so unconditional
Describing God's love as absolute and without conditions
You breathed your last,
Jesus' sacrifice on the cross
Alone on the altar,
Alone and selflessly giving up His life as an offering
Laid down your life,
Similar to a sacrificial lamb
Like a lamb at the slaughter,
Jesus triumphed over darkness through resurrection
In glory you rose,
Defeating the forces of evil and death
Defeated the darkness,
So that individuals could belong in God's presence
So I could be yours,
Be embraced within God's divine presence
At home in your presence,
You knew it from the start
-That I would be unfaithful,
-You made me with your heart,
-So I would be able,
-To find out who you are,
-The king born in the stable,
-The true light in the dark,
-A love so unconditional
-I was made from dust
Humans are created from dust by God's design
But I was made for love
Humans are fundamentally created to experience and give love
You are more than enough
God is more than sufficient to fulfill human needs
Oh comforter you’ll never let me go
God provides unwavering comfort and support
You will always draw me close
God continuously draws humans close to Him
You are faithful to lead me home
God faithfully guides humans back to Him
Jesus shepherd of my soul
Jesus is depicted as the caring leader of individuals' souls
You are here now,
Jesus' presence is currently felt
Your presence surrounding,
Surrounded by the encompassing nature of Jesus' presence
The fullness of love,
The overflowing abundance of love emanating from Jesus
Poured out overflowing
Love pouring out endlessly from Jesus
