Loved before the dawn of time,
Chosen by my maker,
Hidden in my saviour:
I am his and he is mine,
Cherished for eternity.
When I'm stained with guilt and sin,
He is there to lift me,
Heal me and forgive me;
Gives me strength to stand again,
Stronger than I was before.
So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to christ alone.
All the chains of satan's curse
Lifted through his offering,
Satisfied through suffering;
All the blessings he deserves
Poured on my unworthy soul.
So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to christ alone.
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
To the lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah, I will lift him high.
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
To the lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah I will sing with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to christ alone.
Stars will fade and mountains fall;
Christ will shine forever,
Love's unfading splendour.
Earth and heaven will bow in awe,
Joining in salvation's song.
