“God Knew Your Name” Words and music by Jim Likens © 1997 Jim Likens
Before the light of day, shined on your little face God knew your name. When no one else could see how precious you would be, God knew your name.
And He held you so close in His loving hand And He wanted all to see, that Before the light of day, shined on your little face, God knew your name.
Before you walked around, before you first fell down, God knew your name. Before you rode your trike, and then that first red bike, God knew your name.
He was with you everyday, right there by your side Even when you made mistakes. And Before the light of day shined on your little face, God knew your name.
Before those wedding bells range their story well, God knew your name. Before that first new home and children of your own God knew your name.
And through all times, both the good and bad, He held you in His hand, and Before the light of day, shined on your little face, God knew your name.
As you gracefully grew old you know you had been told God knew your name. And one day when you died and your friends and family cried God knew your name.
And the angels carried your soul to me And I said “Welcome home!” You were one of mine, I loved you for all time, I knew your name.
You were one of mine, I loved you for all time, I knew your name.
