Long Before You Knew MeBy Steve IsraelCCLI Number: 4212384I often reflect upon the spiritual blessings that I have in Christ: Forgiveness, Salvation, and eternal life, to mention just a few. But of all the earthly blessings God has bestowed upon me, there is none greater than the gift of my wife, Barbara. When I first began to follow the Lord, one of my most ardent prayers was that God would give me a companion especially prepared for me. He answered my prayers! And as time goes on, I become increasingly more aware that God wants to answer our prayers concerning the deepest longings of our hearts, as long as doing so gives Him pleasure as well. Although "Long Before You Knew Me" could be considered a "love song" in the traditional sense, it is really much more than that. On a different, higher level, it speaks of the love that God has for each one of us: He loved us before we knew Him, and we love Him only by virtue of Him loving us first! And it is because of His love, He has a plan that is unfolding for each of us as we walk with Him daily. - Steve, October 9, 2003 ![]()
(Introduction)
I am so thankful For what the Lord has done for me. Oh, I am so very grateful, And I will say it openly. Many gifts and blessings I've received in my life. But one stands out among all others: You are my wife. When I was searching And longing deep within my heart, For someone to share my life with Who would never, ever depart. You were that someone God chose for me. Oh, I loved you before I knew you. Long before you knew me. (Instrumental) You were that someone God chose for me. Oh, I loved you before I knew you. Long before you knew me. I loved you before I knew you. Long before you knew me. Copyright © 2003 Steve Israel ![]() This song has been displayed 40608 times.
