Loved Me First - Philippa Hanna

My pockets were empty, I had nothing to give

I was Your enemy, You called me Your friend

Why do I find myself trying to earn it?

You gave it all when I didn’t deserve it

Who am I to question why?

You said it was worth it

I found life when You laid Yours down

Some kind of hope when I opened my hands

And love unending, when I was empty

You healed my hurt

And You saw beauty when You saw these scars

Some kind of treasure buried in this heart

Why should I ever, why should I ever doubt my worth?

I’ll remember that You loved me first

Remember that You loved me first

So hidden in shame, I thought nobody could find me

But nothing could stop You from chasing behind me, mm

So why do I find myself trying to earn this?

You gave it all when I didn’t deserve it

I found life when You laid Yours down

Some kind of hope when I opened my hands

And love unending, when I was empty

You healed my hurt

And You saw beauty when You saw these scars

Some kind of treasure buried in this heart

Why should I ever, why should I ever doubt my worth?

I’ll remember that You loved me first

Remember that You loved me first

I love You 'cause You first loved me

I’m learning how to let You hold me

I love You 'cause You first loved me

I’m learning, I’m learning

I love You 'cause You first loved me

I’m learning how to let You hold me

I love You 'cause You first loved me

And I’m learning, I’m learning

That I find life when I lay it down

Some kind of healing when I open my hands

And love unending, when I was empty

You healed my hurt

I find life when I lay it down

Some kind of healing when I open my hands

And love unending, when I was empty

You healed my hurt

And You saw beauty when You saw these scars

Some kind of treasure buried in this heart

Why should I ever, why should I ever doubt my worth?

I’ll just remember that You loved me first

Remember that You loved me first

Remember that You loved me first

Remember that You loved me
