The song, “Before You,” is about the constant struggle of life and where we are without Jesus in our lives. We get too comfortable with our pain and demons to leave, we’re afraid that we our unworthy to be loved by anyone, let alone be loved by God. Cantrell realized that the Lord is so much greater...
[Verse 1]
Red scars deep inside of my chest
Where I opened up my heart
So cold and afraid to take a chance
When every chance had left its mark
[Pre-Chorus]
So numb and comfortable
Naming all my demons
I was used to feeling low
And I stopped believing
I was worthy to be loved by anyone
And closed the door for good
[Chorus 1]
But that was all before You
I guess it only takes one time to change Your mind
I guess it only takes one time to get it right
Had almost given up on everything this time
But that was all before You, yeah-e-ehh
But that was all before You, o-o-oh
But that was all before You
That was all before You lord
[Verse 2]
Every road that I traveled
Had only led me to dead ends
Lonely was so familiar
That I thought it was my friend
[Pre-Chorus]
So numb and comfortable
Naming all my demons
I was used to feeling low
And I stopped believing
I was worthy to be loved by anyone
And closed the door for good
[Chorus 2]
But that was all before You
I guess it only takes one time to change Your mind
I guess it only takes one time to get it right
Had almost given up on everything this time
But that was all before You
I thought that my last chance had passed me by
But I guess I was too blind to recognize
That You were what was missing in my life
But that was all before you
[Bridge]
But that was all before You, Jesus
All before You
All before You, o-o-oh
[Chorus Reprise]
But that was all before You!
I guess it only takes one time to change Your mind
But that was all before You, yeah-e-ehh
I thought that my last chance had passed me by
But that was all before You!
