There Was Jesus.

Every time I tried to make it on my own,
Every time I tried to stand and start to fall,
And all those lonely roads that I have travelled on,
There was Jesus.
When the life I built came crashing to the ground,
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found,
I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now,
There was Jesus.
In the waiting, in the searching,
In the healing and the hurting,
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces,
Every minute, every moment,
Where I’ve been and where I’m going,
Even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it,
There was Jesus.
For this man who needs amazing kind of grace, (Mmm)
For forgiveness at a price I couldn’t pay, (Mmm)
I’m not perfect so I thank God every day,
There was Jesus. (There was Jesus).
In the waiting, in the searching,
In the healing and the hurting,
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces,
Every minute, every moment,
Where I’ve been and where I’m going,
Even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it,
There was Jesus.
On the mountain, in the valleys, (There was Jesus),
In the shadows of the alleys, (There was Jesus),
In the fire, in the flood, (There was Jesus),
Always is and always was.
No I never walk alone, (Never walk alone),
You are always there,
In the waiting, in the searching,
In the healing and the hurting,
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces,
Every minute, (Every minute), every moment, (Every moment),
Where I’ve been and where I’m going,
Even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it,
There was Jesus.
There was Jesus.
(There was Jesus.)
(There was Jesus.)
