Yo...
We ain't got forever out here.
But there's a God who loved you before your name was known.
Before you sinned... before you cried.
He said: "You mine."
Let's go...
Lift up your voice right now! (Yeah!)
Praise the Lord this very day! (Uh!)
He loved us with a love so strong
It never fades, it stays life-long!
Hallelujah - we praise His Name!
Jesus, Son of the Living Flame!
He deserves the praise of nations,
All tribes, all tongues, all generations!
Yo, I done things that should've left me done,
But the Son came down - didn't run.
Took nails to the wrist, crown on His head,
He said, "Forgive him," while He bled.
That ain't soft - that's strength in love.
Came from above, to pull me up.
I ain't forget that. No way, no how.
So I bow, and praise Him now!
Lift up your voice right now! (Lift it up!)
Praise the Lord this very day! (Say what!)
He loved us with a love so strong
It never fades, it stays life-long!
Hallelujah - we praise His Name!
Jesus, Son of the Living Flame!
He deserves the praise of nations,
All tribes, all tongues, all generations!
Look...
They don't know us, they don't claim our name,
But God called us "Children" all the same.
The world don't see what He sees in me,
But He chose me before I believed.
He adopted me when I was wildin'
Told me to rest - stopped all my runnin'.
"Come to Me, all you heavy with pain"
I did... and I ain't never been the same.
Yo...
Are you tired? Are you broken?
He said, "Come."
To the sister who's cried all night.
To the brother in jail.
To the mother with no food left,
To the soul carrying shame -
He ain't rejecting you.
He died for you.
You ain't too far gone.
He loved you... first.
Lift up your voice right now!
Praise the Lord this very day!
He loved us with a love so strong
It never fades, it stays life-long!
Hallelujah - we praise His Name!
Jesus, Son of the Living Flame!
He deserves the praise of nations,
All tribes, all tongues, all generations!
He loved me first (Yes He did!)
He carried my curse (on that cross!)
I lift my voice (I lift it high!)
Jesus Christ, the reason why!
From the street to the church, He reigns!
From the rich to the poor, He saves!
All the weary, run to His grace!
He loved us first - we give Him praise!
