You Were There

Verse

From my first breath, You were there,

Holding life inside Your hands.

When the shadow came too early,

You said no, and here I stand.

Yahweh, ever-present Father,

You have carried me this far.

Through the pain and through the healing,

You stayed closer than my scars.

Verse

In my wandering, in my weakness,

In the choices that I made,

When I could not see my future,

Still Your mercy made a way.

El Roi, You saw my broken,

Every tear I tried to hide.

When I felt I did not matter,

You were standing by my side.

Chorus

Thank You, Lord, for never leaving.

Thank You, Lord, for seeing me.

Through the valley and the sorrow,

You were faithful constantly.

When I lost my way, You found me.

When I had no strength, You stayed.

Jesus, You have been my rescue.

I will bless Your name always.

Verse

There were days my soul was empty,

Poor in spirit, tired, and worn.

Trying just to fit in somewhere,

Trying to find where I belong.

Jehovah Jireh, You provided

Hope when I had nothing left.

Daily bread for all my battles,

Holy mercy in my chest.

Verse

When the tempter whispered loudly,

And I nearly slipped away,

When my heart was fighting darkness,

Still You would not let me break.

Jehovah Shalom, You held me

When my mind could find no rest.

You spoke peace into my chaos,

And Your love outstood the test.

Bridge

You saved me.

You kept me.

You loved me through it all.

You saw me.

You found me.

You would not let me fall.

In my sin, You still were holy.

In my weakness, You were strong.

In my failure, You were merciful.

In my sorrow, You were song.

Pre-chorus

Yahweh, You were there.

El Roi, You saw me there.

Jireh, You provided there.

Shalom, You held me there.

Jesus, You were there.

Jesus, You were there.

Every breath and every battle,

Jesus, You were there.

Chorus

Thank You, Lord, for never leaving.

Thank You, Lord, for covering me.

From the moment I was breathing,

You have been my victory.

Through the hurt and through the healing,

Through the nights I could not see,

Jesus, You have always held me,

And one day You will welcome me.
