I Never Knew

you gave me the intellect to understand

You gave me ears to hear your voice

I never knew you loved me first

You gave me a voice to talk your talk

you gave me a heart so I could learn to love

you gave me hands so I could do your works.

I never knew you loved me first.

My life has been a tragedy

You have seen me at my worst.

Lord I am so glad you didn’t give up on me

I never knew you loved me first.

When I was lost you lifted me up.

When I fell you gave me wings so I could fly

You took the dark and gave me a guiding light.

When I lost my faith; you taught me how to get it back.

My life is in a better place. All because you first loved me

I never knew you loved me first.

Lord I am so ever thankful that you loved me first

Lord I am ever so thankful you love me first.

I never knew you love me first.

I never knew you loved me first.

I never knew you loved me first

I never knew you love me first.

I never knew you loved me first.

I never knew you loved me first
