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 Knew me.

Before the first darkening of night,
Before the universe blazed into light,
Before mortal man ever realised his plight
You knew me

Before the first babe cried,
Before the first man tried,
Before that man sinned and died,
You knew me

Before I ever knew your name
Before I ever understood your pain
Before my sin appeared like a crimson stain
You knew me.
