V1
You called my name
before You formed the earth.
You saw my frame,
knit me together with a word.
You designed my heart to know You,
breathing life into my bones,
Forever You have loved me as Your own.
Chorus
You are my Father, I am Your child.
Loved and accepted, nothing could separate us now:
adopted forever, purchased with blood.
You are my Father and I am a child of God.
V2
You know my need
before I ever call.
You guide my feet,
teach me to plant my steps in Yours.
And you comfort and protect me
with new mercies day by day.
You know my weakness, yet Your love remains.
V3
And when I fall
and wander from Your ways —
ashamed by it all,
fearing I've squandered all Your grace:
then I turn and see You running
with forgiveness in Your gaze —
still I'm welcome in my Father's embrace!
