歌詞
Verse 1
You made the rivers run for free,
Gave bread to fields, and stars for me.
You drew the sky in colors wide,
You set the moon to steer the tide.
You placed the laugh inside a child,
Gave hands to build, gave feet to mile.
But still the table’s never full,
Some go hungry while others rule.
Pre-Chorus
If goodness flowed like rivers wide,
How did such hunger hide inside?
You said You knew me every day —
Before my breath, before my name.
Chorus
You knew before I ever breathed,
You knew the fall I’d one day meet.
Did You write the sorrow into song,
Or did we learn the path so wrong?
If You see all — the feast, the fear —
Help us see what You hold dear.
Teach our hands to lift and sow,
If You’re still here… help us grow.
Verse 2
Some build palaces on borrowed pain,
Some of us count pennies in the rain.
Why does one live rich in a night,
While another begs for morning light?
Do You watch the city burn or sleep?
Do angels cry when children weep?
Is pain the lesson, or a fault,
Is mercy error, or the vault?
Pre-Chorus
You said You knew before my birth,
If that’s true — what weighs this earth?
Did You see hell before it came,
Or do we write the world in shame?
Chorus
You knew before I ever breathed,
You knew the chain I’d one day need.
Did You draw the suffering I see,
Or hand me tools to set me free?
If You see all — both hurt and song —
Give us grace to right the wrong.
Open eyes to mercy’s road,
If You’re still here… bear our load.
Bridge (spoken / half-sung, intimate)
Maybe the question isn’t whether You knew,
But what we do now that truth sits in view.
If love was given, wide and raw,
Why do we bargain for what we saw?
If You are there behind the veil,
Let our small hands become the sail —
Carry bread where mouths are dry,
Throw the ladder where children cry.
Break / Short Solo Verse (soft)
You knew I’d falter, You knew I’d fear,
You traced my faults and still drew near.
If You chose silence, maybe it’s so we’d learn —
To be the hands that answer Your return.
Final Chorus (soaring, choir joins)
You knew before I ever breathed,
You knew the wounds, the web, the grief.
If pain was part of some unknown art,
Teach us to love with all our heart.
If You watch over feast and fight,
Make our small mercy match Your light.
If You’re still here — then show the way:
Let us be Your voice today.
Outro (whisper / prayer)
I don’t ask to know the why,
Only teach these hands to try.
If You walked with us before we knew,
Walk with us now — and make us You.
You made the rivers run for free,
Gave bread to fields, and stars for me.
You drew the sky in colors wide,
You set the moon to steer the tide.
You placed the laugh inside a child,
Gave hands to build, gave feet to mile.
But still the table’s never full,
Some go hungry while others rule.
Pre-Chorus
If goodness flowed like rivers wide,
How did such hunger hide inside?
You said You knew me every day —
Before my breath, before my name.
Chorus
You knew before I ever breathed,
You knew the fall I’d one day meet.
Did You write the sorrow into song,
Or did we learn the path so wrong?
If You see all — the feast, the fear —
Help us see what You hold dear.
Teach our hands to lift and sow,
If You’re still here… help us grow.
