Elevation Worship's song 'We Were Far From You' reflects on humanity's separation from God due to sin and the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross. The lyrics emphasize that before time began, God planned to take our place, and through Christ's death, we are brought back to Him. The song highlights themes of salvation, grace, and God's love, expressing gratitude for being filled with His love and freed by the blood of His Son. It is a worshipful declaration of how nothing in the world can satisfy, but God's sacrifice restores our relationship with Him.

Before time began
The world was never meant
To carry all our sin
Before we ran away
And lost what you had made
You planned to take our place
On the cross
You died so we could be alive
And You sought to bring us home
We were far from you
And nothing in this world could fill us up
But You brought us back
Before we could come
And kneel before your throne
You had to send your son
You saw us in our need
You came to make us clean
You bled to set us free
On the cross
You died so we could be alive
And You fought to bring us home
We were far from you
And nothing in this world could fill us up
But You brought us back
Filled with Your love
It�??s Christ in us
Free by the blood of Your son
