J's Journal:
I think it is so cool that we serve a God who knows everything that ever happened and everything that ever will happen, and one who made plans for us long before we loved Him (Romans 5:8, 1 John 4:10) and actually draws us to Him (John 6:44). I heard a preacher say once that there’s a two-step process to salvation. The first step is that you come to God. The second step is that you realize that He was the one who really took the first step. :)
Predestination can be a difficult subject to grasp and a controversial one to discuss, whether you’re a Calvinist or not, but it is a part of scripture (Romans 8:29-30 and Ephesians 1:5), and no scholar disputes that. The differences of opinion occur whenever people discuss exactly what it means, its role, its relation to a person’s free will, etc.
We’re not trying to give a sermon on predestination or to define it in this song, though; we’re just pointing out some cool verses that show that even before we decided to look for God, He had already found us. As Jesus says in John 15:16, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”

You Booked Me All Along
Parody of "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC
(Revelation 13:8, Romans 8:29, John 6:44, 15:16, 2 Tim 1:9)
It was the past in Eden
You kept the two of them clean
They were the best man and woman that had ever been
Too bad the snake arrived
Tellin' Eve those lies
Knockin’ them out -- You closed up paradise fast
They did not have a prayer
Yet the Bible declares
You told them You'd come
But You was already there
Cause the Lamb was slain from, the earth's foundation
In Revelation, verse 13:8 it says
You -- booked it all along
Yeah, You booked it all along
From the dawn of time
You had that stuff in mind
Romans 8:29 says it's divinely designed
When we go to the cross
It's just the Father who draws
You revealed that to me in John 6:44
Went to choose You now
Today and then I found
How in fact You chose me
Today in John 15
Cause the Lamb was slain from, the earth's foundation
Predestination, defeatin' Satan
Cause You -- booked me all along
Yet You -- could see all my wrongs
You blotted them out -- and You booked me all along
Had to save me and -- You -- booked me all along
Yeah, You booked me
Then You took me
