I thought I was ahead of the game
Even though I could not name what I was looking for
I thought I had it all worked out
Even though I was feeling the worry and the doubt

I tried to hide behind myself
But You saw right through myself

You found me first
When I was at my worst
And now I know the love of Jesus Christ
'Cause I have You in my life, yeah

Now when I did not know
What love was for
It was the very key
That opened my heart's door

I thought this peace was just a dream
Like there wasn't anything like this for me
I searched this world and all I found was lies
And then You opened up my eyes

And You found me first
When I was at my worst
And now I know the love of Jesus Christ
'Cause I have You in my life, yeah

All these years I could not find the truth
And all this times I could not see
All these years I could not find You
And all this time You were watching over me

You found me first
When I was at my worst
And now I know the love of Jesus Christ
'Cause I have You in my life
