He knitted me in my mother’s womb, and He formed my innermost being,

And He knew me, yes it’s true, before birth.
Verse 2: (Same Chords as Verse 1)
As I’ve grown to be a man I have wandered through His garden,
Taking things that don’t belong to me.
Though I vowed to follow Him, I have tasted fruit forbidden,
Not unpunished, yet He has forgiven me.
Verse 3: (Same Chords as Verse 1)
In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God.
I know it’s hard to understand, but I believe it.
Though He never did anything wrong, still He shed his blood for me,
And He wants to give me life, I receive it.
