Once I was just a thought inside Your mind
You spoke a word and breathed me into life
You know my name
You spoke my name
You could do anything You wanted to
But You chose to choose me as the one for You
You know my name
You chose my name
What love I’ve found that I would bring You pleasure
That I have made You proud
What grace abounds, it reaches beyond all measure
And keeps me Your presence, oh God
How precious are the thoughts of God
How precious are the thoughts of God
There’s not a thing that I could ever do
To earn or lose the love I have in You
You know my name
You love my name
How precious are Your thoughts, oh God
How precious are Your thoughts, oh God
