1253. Loved before the dawn of time

Author: Stuart Townend and Andrew Small

Loved before the dawn of time,
chosen by my Maker,
hidden in my Saviour:
I am his and he is mine,
cherished for eternity.

2. When I’m stained with guilt and sin,
he is there to lift me,
heal me and forgive me;
gives me strength to stand again,
stronger that I was before.

Chorus:
So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation’s song;
and I’ll join the chorus of creation
giving praise to Christ alone.

3. All the claims of Satan’s curse
lifted through his offering,
satisfied through suffering;
all the blessings he deserves
poured on my unworthy soul.

So with every breath…

Bridge:
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
to the Lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah, I will lift him high.
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
to the Lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah, I will sing
with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation’s song;
and I’ll join the chorus of creation
giving praise to Christ alone.

(Continued…)

4. Stars will fade and mountains fall;
Christ will shine forever,
love’s unfading splendour.
Earth and heaven will bow in awe,
joining in salvation’s song.
