Before anything was
Before light
Before time
Before the first morning
There was already an intention
And I was in it
Not an afterthought
Not a repair
A plan, older than the world
I did not start this
That is the first thing I know
I cannot see that far back
No one can
But I can feel the pull of it
The way a river
Feels its source
It started before me
It will finish beyond me
And I am carried in between
Not because I earned it
Because it was decided
In love
Before the first morning
And this is the plan
As far as it has been shown
Nothing stays scattered
Everything in heaven
Everything on earth
Every broken piece
Every loose end
Gathered up in Christ
Into one whole
Not erased
Gathered
It started before me
It will finish beyond me
And I am carried in between
Not because I earned it
Because it was decided
In love
Before the first morning
And how do I know
That I am part of this?
Honestly
I do not hold the inheritance
Not yet
No one does
I hold a seal
A down payment
The Spirit
Quiet, inside
Saying
This is real
And there is more
A seal is not the treasure
But no one seals
An empty letter
Some hear "chosen"
And see a wall
Who is in
Who is out
But the choosing is not a wall
It is a door
That stood open
Before anyone arrived
It started before me
It will finish beyond me
And I am carried in between
Not because I earned it
Because it was decided
In love
Before the first morning
So this is my prayer
Not for more effort
But for better eyes
Eyes focused and clear
To see what you are called to
The hope
The wealth of it
The strength behind it
The same strength
That raised a dead man
And seated him
Above every power
That has a name
The race began
Before the runner
The road was laid
Before the first step
I did not start this
I will not finish it alone
I run inside
A decision
Older than the world
Made in love
Before the first morning
