Babbie Mason - Timeless Lyrics
Lyrics
Before time became eternity
I was on Your mind
Now I build my world around You
Since I've finally found You, I find
Your love is timeless
Like the willow tree that grows
Your love is timeless
Eternal as the wind that blows
You are everything I ever dreamed and more
From age to age You are the same
And Your love will never change
Your love is timeless
Like a kiss on morning dew
Your love is timeless
Like stars against the midnight blue
Every moment, every minute of the day
You show Your love
In a million timeless ways
Incomprehensible, I cannot tell at all
Oh, to describe Your love would be impossible
You are so beautiful to me
It's indisputable, You see
And long before I even was
You were thinking of me
Your love is timeless
Your love is timeless
Incomprehensible, I cannot tell at all
Oh, to describe Your love would be impossible
You are so beautiful to me
It's indisputable, You see
And long before I even was
You were thinking of me
Your love is timeless
Like the gentle summer breeze
Your love is timeless
Like the waves out on the sea
You're the Singer whose music calms my fears
I'll never question that You'll always be near
I've found no other love like this
For Your love is timeless
I've found no other love like this
For Your love is timeless

Meaning & Inspiration
Babbie Mason's "Timeless," released in 2001 as the title track of her album, stands as a profound declaration of the enduring and unchanging nature of divine love. The song delves into the core of Christian faith, asserting that God's affection predates creation itself, a concept echoed in scripture where Paul writes, "even before he made the world, God loved us in Christ and made us holy and without fault with his love" (Ephesians 1:4, NLT). Mason beautifully articulates this by stating, "Before time became eternity, I was on Your mind," emphasizing a personal and preordained connection. This understanding forms the bedrock of her devotion, as she declares, "Now I build my world around You, since I've finally found You." This mirrors the teachings of Jesus, who urged his followers to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, promising that all else would be provided (Matthew 6:33). The repeated assertion, "Your love is timeless," serves as the central thesis, illustrating its eternal quality through vivid imagery. Comparing God's love to a growing willow tree, the eternal wind, morning dew, and stars in the midnight blue, Mason paints a picture of something constant, vast, and intrinsically beautiful. These natural elements, with their inherent permanence and wonder, become potent metaphors for a love that transcends human understanding and finite experience. The lyrics further explore this incomprehensibility, acknowledging that describing God's love is "impossible" and "indisputable." This resonates with the Apostle John's declaration, "God is love" (1 John 4:8), suggesting that love is not merely an attribute of God but His very essence. The song’s repeated emphasis on God's consistent affection, even "long before I even was," points to the doctrine of predestination and God's sovereign plan, a theme found throughout the Old Testament prophets and New Testament epistles (Jeremiah 1:5; Romans 8:29-30). Mason’s lyrical comparisons to a "gentle summer breeze" and "waves out on the sea" underscore the multifaceted nature of this love – it can be both comforting and powerfully vast, a presence that calms fears, as she states, "You're the Singer whose music calms my fears." This brings to mind the Psalmist's expressions of God's comfort and guidance, such as "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1). The concluding lines, "I've found no other love like this," serve as a powerful testimony, affirming the unique and unparalleled nature of God's love, a sentiment that should inspire every believer to build their lives upon this unshakeable foundation.
