[Verse 1]
There was a place
Back of the pews
Back of my doubts
You held my hand
Mama was praying Your name out loud
I see her face
Every amen
Every soft sigh
I miss her now
But You were there the whole time
[Chorus]
Chosen stars in a midnight sky
You were there
You were there all along
Jesus
Father
You redeem my time
Every loss
Every tear
Every wrong
God
You turn memory into light I can’t resist
In the dark
In the ache
In the miss
[Verse 2]
I hear his voice
Dad saying “Son
Keep your head high”
Then he was gone
And all that was left was why
But in the ache
You wrote Your promise over my fear
I feel You now
Whispering
“Child
I am here”
[Chorus]
Chosen stars in a midnight sky
You were there
You were there all along
Jesus
Father
You redeem my time
Every loss
Every tear
Every wrong
God
You turn memory into light I can’t resist
In the dark
In the ache
In the miss
[Bridge]
Every name I call
You have carried too
Every empty chair
You are walking through
Teach my heart to trust
Every sacred scar
All I’ve loved and lost
You hold in Your arms
[Chorus]
Chosen stars in a midnight sky
You were there
You were there all along
Jesus
Father
You redeem my time
Every loss
Every tear
Every wrong
God
You turn memory into light I can’t resist
In the dark
In the ache
In the miss
