You Were There Lyrics

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
