Before the Day Star

[Chorus]
Before the day star you were formed in the womb
By the light of the Spirit warmed
Before flesh and blood was stitched to bone
Before the day star you were known

Before the day star you were willed
Then by breath and being filled
In the unseen place where you would grow
Before the day star you were home

[Verse 1]
Before the day star you were made
No accident, no mistake
You say your mama barely knew your dad
Before the day star you were planned

Before the day star you were conceived
In the mind of God, to be received
Into the waiting arms of all that is
Before the day star you were His

Brother, I know, oh, oh, you've been through the fire
Brought so low, always getting higher
And don't let the things that you do to make you numb
Let you forget just where you're from

Sister, I know, oh, oh, you've been through the fire
Cut to the bone by another's sick desire
Don't let those unspoken things which left you scarred
Let you forget just who you are

You are the meeting place between dust and grace
The infinity of heaven, the lines of time and space
The apple of the all-seeing eyes
Before the day star you were prized

Before the waters split into sky and sea
Before the day star you were called to be
A ray reaching back to that endless light
Which before the day star was burning bright

[Chorus]
Before the day star you were formed in the womb
By the light of the Spirit warmed
Before flesh and blood was stitched to bone
Before the day star you were known

Before the day star you were willed
Then by breath and being filled
In that unseen place where you would grow
Before the day star you were home

[Outro]
My friend, my friend why are you weeping?
All the horror is [?] the dawn is creeping
Up to you and me and all where we were sleeping
See the shadows steadily retreating away?
As day comes our way, perhaps to stay
Day comes our way, perhaps to stay! Ay!
Comes our way, perhaps to stay!
