Right from the Start



From the beginning
You chose me
And you knew my name

You put the stars in space
And the planets in their orbit
Yet you know me by name

You made the sea
And you made the land
And you know who I am

Although you were busy
Putting the world together
I was still on your mind

What a feeling it is
To know that in everything you do
You are always thinking of me

That no matter what I do
You will always love me
As you did right from the start

You Know Me

You are loving
You are compassionate
You are in control

You are sovereign
You gave me life
You have a plan for me

You knew me before I was born
You know my tastes
You know my personality

You know my strengths
You know my weaknesses
You have given me a purpose

You never forget me
You always know where I am
You have your hand on my life

Welcome Home

I come to you as a broken child
Scared and ashamed
But you opened your arms
And wrapped them around me

You took my face into your hands
Looked me straight in the eyes
And said “welcome home”
You are now safe in my love

You took my brokenness
And all my flaws
And with your love and grace
You pieced me back together

All my thanks is to you
For saving me from myself
For taking me as you found me
And making me brand new
