lyrics version 1
When the whole world spoke one language
When the whole world served one god
Back when men first toiled in the rocky soil
And worked the ground upon which they trod
Back when Adam walked with God in the garden
Back when the serpent first spoke to Eve
Back when man first fell and the gates of hell
Opened up and we were all deceived
Well that's when Jesus knew I'd love you
Yeah and that’s when Jesus knew I’d care
And that’s when Jesus knew you’d love me too
And made sure that you’d be standing there
I saw you standing there
Just standing there [Spoken]
Well when the world first moved in upheaval
Back when men invented war
And they stood in the mud among the bodies and the blood
And could not remember what for
Back when Cain raised his hand against Abel
And his soul was stained with blood
Back when men became so evil
That the world was finally washed by the flood
Oh baby that’s when Jesus knew I’d love you
Well that’s when Jesus knew I’d care
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew you’d love me too
And made sure that you’d be standing there
Oh baby, baby that’s when Jesus knew what I’d need
To ease the emptiness, sorrow too
He knew right from start
When he looked into my heart
That I’d be lonely till I found you
I found you
I found you
I found you
Back when Nimrod swayed the remnant
And built the walls of Babylon
And later David held the throne of Israel
And wept for Jonathon and Absalom
When men felt the sting of sorrow
Held loneliness in the sleepless nights (Sleepless nights)
And their women would sense it and draw closer to their bodies
Stay beside 'em till the morning night
Baby that’s when Jesus knew he’d save me
That’s when Jesus knew he’d die
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew I’d repent and follow
While others would pass him by
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew my sorrow
And he knew my heart would break
And he’d be standing there with forgiveness and love
While my tears would make my body shake
Body shake (That's when Jesus knew)
Shaking all over (That's when Jesus knew)
My whole life, torn up (That's when Jesus knew)
Wide open, save me (That's when Jesus knew)
Yeah I'm going on, I'm going to the river (That's when Jesus knew)
Gonna cross over (That's when Jesus knew)
I'm gonna climb the mountain (That's when Jesus knew)
Gonna see my saviour (That's when Jesus knew)
You know I love you baby (That's when Jesus knew)
I wanna be there beside you (That's when Jesus knew)
Oh we're gonna go together (That's when Jesus knew)
Together (That's when Jesus knew) yeah yeah

And he’d be standing there for forgiveness and love
While my tears would make my body shake
That’s when I was, that’s when I was
That’s when I was born a second time
Shaking all over
My whole life torn wide open
Yeah, yeah
I saw him standing there
A light around his face
His eyes wide open
Yeah I’m going to the river
I’m going under
I’m gonna be reborn
Yeah yeah I’m going back
I’m going back to the garden
Promise me, promise me
Yeah
You’ll be so very
You’ll be so very
Very very very very very very
Very very quiet when you hear him speak
Shaking all over
That's when Jesus knew
He knew right from the start
Before he is
Before I was
I am is
It's dark and cloudy here
The world is falling down
There’s no way to stand on this shaky ground
I have to look for some light
And walk through this night
It's coming
And I'm ready
And when it's over I'll be glad
No tears, no pain
Now it's time
Now it's time to look
He will live
