When I thought of this world without you 
 O heaven began to weep 
 And the oceans were born 
 When I thought of my life without you 
 O the darkness was deep, the earth without form 
    Before the first day, I conceived you in my heart 
 At the sound of your name, I spoke light into the dark 
 The moment time began, the world was waiting 
 For your life to start   
 Never before, never again 
 The story of your soul, whose life will never end 
 An image of God the worldʼs never seen 
 You matter to all eternity   
 When I thought of heaven without you 
 My heart labored in love, and the son of God was born 
 We wanted to share our life with you 
 Wrapped in the wings of a dove, soon the veil was torn   
 I desired that not even one would be lost 
 So I gave my son as a gift on the cross 
 Granting access to the tree of life once again 
 So you might live forever in my covenant   
 I gaze at your beauty, my creation complete 
 Everything about you is so good to me 
 I set you apart to be holy and blessed 
 Your soul is the sabbath where Iʼve chosen to rest
