You Loved Me First Lyrics

Before my story was told

There was a stable scene

Where hope wrapped in swaddling clothes

Would change my destiny

You loved me first

The darling of prophets and saints

Was in a manger laid

To cover my life with grace

Before I knew your name

You loved me first

You are my treasure

My Prince of Peace

God here with me

All my devotion

To the One who loved me first

You knew my affections would stray

The cost of my sins, high

And still light broke into the darkness

On that silent night

You loved me first

You are my treasure

My Prince of Peace

God here with me

All my devotion

To the One who loved me first

You are my treasure

No one compares

Emmanuel

All my devotion

To the One who loved me first

And when I see you at last

My joy will overflow

I'll praise you for what you gave me

That Christmas, long ago

You loved me first

Glory, glory in the highest

We will praise the God who loved us

Blessed Savior, God incarnate

We behold the love of Jesus

Glory, glory hallelujah

We will praise the God who loved us

King of Heaven, here among us

We behold the love of Jesus

Glory, glory, in the highest

I will praise the God who loved me first
