Before We Met

Description: A romantic jazz ballad. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbZD7eSWcHYX-mzH3rARjCuCKdXRW8kU&si=7kFGRv7WybbSHjNE The love story did not begin when they met. It began before. Long before. In the hidden drafting rooms of heaven, where God was already laying foundations in separate soils, already drawing two blueprints toward the same house, already stitching two lives together with thread neither of them could see or feel or name. This is a song about a man who discovers — with the stunned, humbled, tear-filled clarity of someone who has just understood something enormous — that the love he thought began with a glance had actually been under construction for years. Decades. Perhaps longer. Before he knew her name, God knew it. Before he walked into the room where she was standing, God had already measured the distance between them and begun closing it. Before he locked his heart behind iron doors and trusted only what his own hands could build, God was already designing the moment that would turn the iron to dust. He did not know he was praying. He did not know that the unnamed ache in his chest was a blueprint being drawn. He did not know that the years of distance that stretched like wilderness between them were not obstacles but corridors — long, hard, necessary corridors through which two lives were being shaped into something strong enough to hold the weight of the love God had planned for them. Every trial made him surer. Every winter made him stronger. What was planted in the dark was growing all along. And when they finally met — when her face appeared like a constellation he had been searching the sky for without knowing its name — he understood. This did not begin with him. This did not begin with her. This began with God. Before the first breath. Before the first word. Before they met. He was building them. And everything — every locked door, every iron bar, every hard road, every lonely night — was part of the plan. This is a song for everyone who has ever looked at the person they love and realised, with a gratitude too large for language, that something this beautiful could never have been an accident. It was built. Before they met. By hands far steadier than their own. Before We Met [Verse 1] I used to lock my door Trust my hands, trust stone Heart behind iron bars Built my life alone Then you walked in Like a name in the stars I didn’t know I was praying Till you reached my heart [Pre-Chorus] By the third night The iron turned to dust I heard heaven moving In the space between us [Chorus] God was building us Before we met Two blueprints One holy set God was building us From the first breath I knew your name Before we said it [Verse 2] You found me in the distance Like north in my bones Years like a hard road Still I was not alone Every trial made me sure Every winter made me strong What was planted in the dark Was growing all along [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it clear What my heart was made to trust Two lives, one promise He was making us [Chorus] God was building us Before we met Two blueprints One holy set God was building us From the first breath I knew your name Before we said it [Bridge] Nothing can tear us apart Not the sea, not the years Not the fire at our feet Not the tears You are home to my heart I am home in your arms Every wall I raise Leads me back to yours [Chorus] God was building us Before we met Two blueprints One holy set God was building us From the first breath I knew your name Before we said it [Outro] My beloved, my heart Every breath for you Every door I open Leads me home to you
