Okay, friends. I wrote this song about a month ago, and I wanted to share it with you. The sound is not great, so I posted the lyrics below. Sorry about that.
Wrote this to be a wedding song. It's so neat to me to listen to married couples tell the story of how God brought them together. I'm sure they would agree that God works "behind the scenes," orchestrating His perfect plan...down to even the very last detail. I've been praying for that future husband of mine since I was a little girl...praying for God's blessing over him in the waiting. This song was birthed out of the thankfulness in my heart that God is orchestrating His perfect will...in every area of my life.
And even outside of the concept of marriage, are you thankful today that God is in control of all things? He has control of each and every minute of each and every day...even though we do not know what is to come. What a blessing it is to truly consider that. For whatever may come, we can rest assure that He is the Divine Director of all things...even before we knew.
"Even Before I Knew"
Even before I knew
A little heart was praying
Even before I knew
Your love I was waiting
With a box full of letters
And a heart full of dreams
Waiting for the day
When your face I’d see
But the waiting seemed long
Thought I’d lose my song
But God heard every cry
And this was His reply
Ask and shall be given
Seek and ye will find
Knock and the door will be opened
But only in My time
And my hope was renewed
Each time I prayed for you
Strength given daily, peace in the waiting
Even before I knew
Even before you knew
What God was preparing
Even before you knew
Your prayers He was answ’ring
For He knew in His time
Me you would find
Shaped by God’s own Hand
Our love story, part of the Master’s plan
Bridge:
Here we are
Seeing face to face
A love so true
Given by God’s grace
He’ll make us one
From Him our love comes from.
Ending:
Strength given daily
For you I was praying
Even before I knew

Hannah,
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented! God's love is so evident though you. This song is special now, but just wait...one day it will take on a new and deeper meaning when those words echo in your husband's ears on your wedding day. All the waiting, wishing, hoping, and praying will not be in vain. There is someone out there made just for you.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
