WHEN I CAN’T FEEL YOU
[Verse 1]
When the room gets quiet
And my prayers feel like they hit the ceiling
When I search for Your presence
But my heart can’t find the feeling
You’re still closer than the air I breathe
Still holding every part of me
Silence never means You walked away
Your Word is still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
You said You’d never leave me
You said You’d never let me go
So even when my eyes can’t see it
My soul will trust what I know
[Chorus]
You are with me when I can’t feel You
You are near me when the night feels long
When my heart says I’ve been forgotten
Your promises remind me I’m wrong
You go before me, You stand behind me
Your faithful hands are holding on
I may not feel You in the silence
But You have been here all along
[Verse 2]
In the valley of the shadow
You prepare a table there
When the fire burns around me
There is Another standing there
You were with Joseph in the prison
With Daniel when the lions roared
You walked with three men through the furnace
And You’re still the same Lord
[Pre-Chorus]
You said the waters wouldn’t drown me
You said the flames would not consume
So when I cannot trace Your footsteps
I’ll trust Your heart inside the room
[Chorus]
You are with me when I can’t feel You
You are near me when the night feels long
When my heart says I’ve been forgotten
Your promises remind me I’m wrong
You go before me, You stand behind me
Your faithful hands are holding on
I may not feel You in the silence
But You have been here all along
[Bridge — begin softly, build with choir]
If I rise to the heavens, You are there
If I make my bed in darkness, You are there
If I walk through the deepest sea
Even there Your hand will carry me
Never leaving
Never changing
Never failing
You remain
Jesus, yesterday
Jesus, today
Jesus forever
You are the same
[Choir Build]
You are here!
You are here!
Even when I cannot feel it
You are here!
You are faithful!
You are faithful!
Every promise You have spoken
You will keep!
[Final Chorus — full choir]
You are with me when I can’t feel You
You are near me when the night feels long
When my heart says I’ve been forgotten
Your promises become my song
You go before me, You stand behind me
Underneath are arms everlasting strong
I may not feel You in the silence
But You have been here all along
[Outro]
Feeling fades
But truth remains
You have been here
All along
