In Your Book, I Was Known
← Back to AlbumAbout This Song
“In Your Book, I Was Known” explores the profound biblical truth that God intimately knows and values every human life from conception. Drawing on Psalm 139:13–16 and Jeremiah 1:5, the song affirms that each child is handcrafted by Elohim (God the Creator) and cherished long before entering the world. Its lyrics gently confront the cultural debates about the beginning of life, reminding believers that Scripture defines our worth at even the earliest stages of development.
Musically, this track carries a reverent, contemplative atmosphere. It opens with tender instrumentation that mirrors the sacredness of the womb, gradually building toward a worshipful chorus. In that chorus, the congregation acknowledges God’s sovereignty over all life, bowing before His throne as the rightful Author of each person’s story.
While the first verse establishes the current condition—society’s confusion over when life begins—the second verse turns toward repentance, asking El Olam (the Everlasting God) to forgive any apathy or complicity in the face of abortion. Yet it also offers hope: God’s forgiveness is more than sufficient to cover every sin and renew hearts.
A climactic bridge invites Ruach HaKodesh to breathe fresh understanding into believers. As the instrumentation swells, listeners are challenged to stand in truth with compassion, interceding for mothers, fathers, and the unborn. The final chorus calls for a collective acknowledgment that we are all known, chosen, and held by God’s loving hand.
“In Your Book, I Was Known” stands as a gentle yet powerful anthem for the sanctity of life, calling each worshipper to deeper devotion and a clearer understanding of God’s heart for the unborn.

Key Scriptures
• Psalm 139:13–16 – God forms us in the womb and ordains our days.
• Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”
• Ephesians 1:4 – He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.
Devotion
One of the most profound truths in Scripture is that God knows each of us long before our first breath. Psalm 139:13–16 poetically describes how the Lord knits us together in the womb, and every one of our days is written in His book. Similarly, in Jeremiah 1:5, the Lord tells the prophet, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” This underscores the inestimable value of human life—even at its earliest stages.
Tragically, modern debates often question when life truly begins. Yet the biblical perspective is clear: God’s creative hand is at work from conception. The Church must therefore resist the worldview that diminishes or negates the personhood of the unborn. Instead, we affirm that each child is intentionally fashioned by Elohim (God the Creator).
This truth can be uncomfortable for those who have experienced or been affected by abortion. However, our Heavenly Father never reveals truth to shame us but to set us free. In recognizing that He ordains each life, we can bring our regrets and pain to the throne of grace. Where sin has abounded, God’s grace abounds much more (Romans 5:20).
“In Your Book, I Was Known” reminds us that we are not accidents or random occurrences; we are purposed and chosen. This track helps listeners to repent of any apathy or misguided thinking and to worship the One who intimately designed every person. Even where confusion exists, the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) can speak clarity. For those who carry the burden of past decisions, the invitation stands to find forgiveness and rest in El Olam, the everlasting God.
Let this devotion encourage you to go deeper into Scripture, to stand firmly on the Word concerning the sanctity of life, and to show compassion to those who struggle with guilt or fear. And as you worship, declare that every life is known and cherished by the Lord of all creation.
Prayer
Adonai, thank You for forming each life with intention and love. Heal our hearts where we’ve embraced lies or where we carry shame. Help us intercede for the unborn and proclaim Your truth with grace. In Yeshua HaMashiach’s name, amen.
