Verse 1a, 1b, chorus. Some piano for verse 2, but no lyrics (as yet).

Here are several relevant Scriptures whose beauty this song attempts to capture:

Ps 98:7-9a
Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
    let the mountains sing together for joy;
let them sing before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge the earth.

Ps 139 ... all, but esp v 4, 16-18a:
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand...

Eph 1:4
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. 

Eph 2:10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Genesis 16, esp v13:
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”

SS 2:10
"Come away with me, my beautiful one!"

======================
Lyrics:
Before the planets knew which way to ride around the sun,
Before the day and night-time marked the days off, one by one,
Before the seas and hills were shouting praises to My Name,
I saw you.

I saw the heart I'd give you, full of trust and tenderness,
I saw how you'd bestow it on the ones who loved you less,
I watched your disappointment and I sorrowed with your pain,
I saw you.

Come away and read My words and let them drown the others out,
Bring your questions and your dreams and tell me what you think about.
Let me teach your heart to think My thoughts and follow where I lead
And trust Me.

This is my first experiment with layering tracks. Next time I will use a metronome in my headphones instead of just a visual one, to keep things synced. I will also have to figure out if I can get a decent microphone (not just my cell phone) for cheap.
