Before you existed

I called you by name

Like My only Son

I've loved you the same

And now I've lifted you up

As My eternal friend

To share in My life

And My joy without end

But now in some dark corner

In guilt and in fear

You've been told you're unworthy

And you dare not come near

But even in your confusion

Your spirit shines through

And all I can see

Is My glory in you

You are the reason

That all this was done

You are the reason

I sent down my Son

You are the reason

I dance and I sing

You're My joy

Above everything

No-one comes before you

In all that I do

I dance with abandon

When I think of you

All of heaven resounds

With the roar of My voice

As in triumph I sing

And I shout and rejoice

You are the reason

That all this was done

You are the reason

I sent down my Son

You are the reason

I dance and I sing

You're My joy

Above everything

From the instant the stars

All exploded in light

I've waited through time

For the wonderful sight

Of you standing in front of Me

Forever free

And the love in your eyes

As they shine back at Me

'Cause you are the reason

That all this was done

You are the reason

I sent down My Son

You are the reason

I dance and I sing

You're My joy

Above everything

You are the reason

That all this was done

You are the reason

I sent down My Son

You are the reason

I dance and I sing

You're My joy

Above everything

You're My joy

Above everything
