Before the first race was run
Before you spoke into existence galaxies, and a million suns
Before the first battle was ever fought, and won
You died on that cross for me
Before the first darkening of night
Before the universe first blazed into light
Before mortal man ever realised his plight
You died on that cross for me
Before the first babe cried
Before the first man tried
Before that man sinned and died
You died on that cross for me
Before I ever knew your name
Before I ever understood your pain
Before my sin appeared like a crimson stain
You died on that cross for me
