We Were in His Mind
Dave Scott / December 6, 1992
Before the foundation of this world we were in His mind,
He carried out His plan of goodness through creation,
We rebelled and died but He persisted in His love,
And carried out His plan of grace through His only Son.
Even amidst the curse, hope was reflected through the promise of His Seed,
He carried the promise to Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob,
Then through the prophets and poets of His people Israel,
Emmanuel would come, God would be with His people.
The first day of fulfillment dawned quietly with the birth of Messiah,
Little baby Jesus born in a manger,
Light had now dawned in a world of darkness,
But darkness would not comprehend this carpenter from Nazareth,
And the price of the promise would come through the death of the Prince.
Enduring the Cross, He looked past the Cross,
To the joy set before Him, to the children of salvation,
Yes, before the world began, we were in His mind.
The second day of fulfillment will arrive with a shout,
With the sound of the trumpet, the Lord Himself will descend,
From heaven this same Jesus will come to gather His own,
Even so, Lord Jesus, come!
