You Matter

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
