Before the stars knew how to shine
Before time had learned to breathe
You had an idea
And that idea was me
You kept me safe when the heavens were raw
When You painted the sky and gave birth to law
When oceans obeyed and mountains rose tall
You were already thinking of me through it all
Through Eden's fall and the serpent's grin
Through Abel's blood and Cain's dark sin
When the flood washed it clean and the ark found shore
You still had more You were dreaming of more
Oh through fire through flood through holy decree
You were guarding the idea of me
Yeah the world turned and kingdoms fell
But You kept me through heaven and the gates of hell
Through every plague through every plea
You protected the idea of me
Through lions' dens and fiery flame
Through prophets scorned and Israel's shame
You held on tight eternally
To the purpose You placed inside of me
You kept me through David's broken psalms
Through Solomon's rise and temple palms
When the people turned and wandered blind
You still had me on Your mind
Through the silence four hundred years deep
While the prophets' bones lay fast asleep
Till a virgin cried out in pain and birth
And Heaven walked upon the earth
Oh on a tree between two thieves
You still fought for the idea of me
Through nails and blood through the crown and spear
You were seeing my face through every tear
From the garden grave to Galilee
You were resurrecting the idea of me
Through the veil torn and the stone rolled wide
Through the winds of Pentecost fire and pride
When the Spirit fell so wild so free
You were breathing life into me
Before I formed you I knew you
In the fullness of time
I have plans to prosper you
For such a time as this
You kept me through Nero's flame and Rome's cold sword
Through every martyr who trusted the Lord
