Before I Formed You -Jeremiah 1: 4,5

This amazing truth blows the mind
the eternal God who created everything
speaks here personally to His prophet
to tell His own what He did bring

astoundingly God knew us before birth
for He formed us in the womb
but scripture speaks of even before
the Lord knew us before we'd room

God in eternity past knew all things
even before creating us in every aspect
He, in particular, knew all of to know
this is the God of all time to connect

In every respect, God set us apart
for He has a purpose for everyone
we all need to heed His every word
walking in step with the heavenly one

This is the great God we adore
for before time He certainly was
and after time God will always be
this is our God with no flaws

(The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you
 before you were born I set you apart;
   I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”)
Jeremiah 1: 4,5 (NIV)
