I Used to

From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything
From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything

I used to be in love.
Before there was space to be void,
Or form to be darkness.
Prior to the beginning being deployed,
Or the deep being faceless.
When the start of something was previously impossible
Because all things were always in existence.

Sooner than the waters had less of a face than the darkness.
When past and future were still known as the present.
Back when time's hand hadn't yet given seconds a shove.
Before the heavens could be oriented as above.

I used to be in love.
For my knowing outdated my knowledge,
My person predated my personage,
My hand preceded its glove,
My loving anteceded my love.

For I was understood before I could understand.
I stood before I was able to stand.
I was chosen before I could choose,
I was won before I could lose.

I used to be in love,
And so did you.

For everyone He's chosen He also knew,
And everyone He's known, He also drew.
Away from the deeps and waters facing back into
The eternity before there was someone to be known as you.

But you did not love, for how could you?
You and I were formless and faceless,
As the deep and water were too.
We used to be in love, but love was not in us
We were in it and it was in God

I used to be in love
Before "beginning" ever touched "in the"
And oceans finally said, "enough"
Before my lips could ever proclaim the name of Jehovah
Yahweh ordained me to be His son
For there was one thing I surely was

I used to be in love

From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything
From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything

From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything
From Him and through Him and to Him
Everything, Everything
