BEFORE

Before you came, I was alone and needy
Before you came, I couldn’t sleep at night
Before you came, I had no clarity of the future
Before you came, I was waiting for you

Before I rose, they stepped on me
Before I rose, I didn’t mean a bean to them
Before I rose, I looked up the sky
Before I rose, He sent me a guiding ray

Before she died, she cared less
Before she died, many knocked on her door
Before she died, many were infected
Before she died, she said a prayer

Before he spoke, he sensed naivety
Before he spoke, he cooked up lies
Before he spoke, he wore a fake smile
Before he spoke, he breathed doom

Before he sinned, he admired his bride
Before he sinned, he knew no right or wrong
Before he sinned, the universe was free of evil
Before he sinned, all was honey and milk

Before they killed Him, He healed many
Before they killed Him, He turned water into wine
Before they killed Him, He raised the dead
Before they killed Him, He gave us hope.
