You Were There

When no body else was there, You were there for me
When no body else would care, You would care for me
When nobody else would know what I was going through
Lord I knew that I could always come and talk to You
When my faith was too weak and I could barely stand
I wasnt too far away from the reach of Your mighty hand
When the trials all come my way, I'll put them in Your care
And I know You're here today, 'cause back then You were there

I can't describe all the problems that I done been through
I thank you God that they're mostly all in the rearview
When I would struggle and I couldn't see a clear You
You saw inside of my heart as if it was see-through
I lost some family, I lost some friends.
Some from betrayal, some had their life end
One moment they were here and gone the next
I shed a couple tears when I would read their last txts
I'm callin out to You right now because I need You
I never knew how much I needed to be near You
Like a fish up outta the water
I needed the livin water of my Heavenly Father
I needed Your help and love more than dollas or the commas, yeah
I needed Your love 'n grace Your Spirit made me stronger, yeah
I need to die to self, Help me Heavenly Father
I used to feel alone, but I dont any longer

When no body else was there, You were there for me
When no body else would care, You would care for me
When nobody else would know what I was going through
Lord I knew that I could always come and talk to You
When my faith was too weak and I could barely stand
I wasnt too far away from the reach of Your mighty hand
When the trials all come my way, I'll put them in Your care
And I know You're here today, 'cause back then You were there
When no body else was there, You were there for me
When no body else would care, You would care for me
When nobody else would know what I was going through
Lord I knew that I could always come and talk to You
When my faith was too weak and I could barely stand
I wasnt too far away from the reach of Your mighty hand
When the trials all come my way, I'll put them in Your care
And I know You're here today, 'cause back then You were there

Too many times I remember feelin so alone
Didnt wanna talk to anyone about it though
Never really been the type to share my feelings
But that pain that I was feeling had me dealin with it wrong so
I just dropped to my knees
I didnt know where to run, I didnt know where to flee
Somethin inside me was tellin me
That there's gotta be truth to Jesus settin me free

If you're listenin and goin through
Rough times guess what I need to tell you
That you're never alone, 'cause God's on the throne
Them thoughts in yo dome, God already knows
He'll never leave you nor forsake you
That right, God never left you on your own
God was always callin you didnt pick up the phone
Runnin from the conviction, from the Holy Ghost
Stop and take a break dont run away from Him anymo
I been writin to my homie locked in G5
That's the prison in the prison where he's doin time.
He's confined 24 hours, all the time
Once every blue moon he gets to go outside
Even in the dark God will always shine
When you find the light darkness always hides
You can be inside a cell by yourself doin time
If you'd call on God you'd realize

When no body else was there, You were there for me
When no body else would care, You would care for me
When nobody else would know what I was going through
Lord I knew that I could always come and talk to You
When my faith was too weak and I could barely stand
I wasnt too far away from the reach of Your mighty hand
When the trials all come my way, I'll put them in Your care
And I know You're here today, 'cause back then You were there
When no body else was there, You were there for me
When no body else would care, You would care for me
When nobody else would know what I was going through
Lord I knew that I could always come and talk to You
When my faith was too weak and I could barely stand
I wasnt too far away from the reach of Your mighty hand
When the trials all come my way, I'll put them in Your care
And I know You're here today, 'cause back then You were there
