Always Been There

I’ve been through some nights I thought would never end,

Had tears in my eyes, didn’t know who to call my friend.

But every time I felt like I was standing all alone,

Jesus, You were right there, reminding me I’m Your own.

When I couldn’t see the way, You opened up a door,

When my heart was tired, You gave me strength for more.

Even when I didn’t know that danger was so near,

You covered me with Your love and took away my fear.

Pre-Chorus

I may not see You, but I know You’re there,

Everywhere I go, I feel Your care.

Even while I’m sleeping through the night,

Jesus, You protect me and hold me tight.

Chorus

Jesus, You’ve always been there for me,

Through every storm, through everything.

You protect me in my dreams at night,

You wake me up with the morning light.

When the enemy comes, You stand by my side,

Under Your wings, Lord, I can hide.

I’m still here because You carried me through,

Jesus, I give all my praise to You.

Verse 2

There were things I never saw, battles I never knew,

But looking back today, Lord, I know it was You.

You kept my family, You kept my soul,

When life tried to break me, You wouldn’t let me go.

Sometimes in my dreams, I can feel You near,

Protecting me from things that try to bring me fear.

I wake up and say, “Thank You, Jesus, once again,”

Because I know Your protection never has an end.

Chorus

Jesus, You’ve always been there for me,

Through every storm, through everything.

You protect me in my dreams at night,

You wake me up with the morning light.

When the enemy comes, You stand by my side,

Under Your wings, Lord, I can hide.

I’m still here because You carried me through,

Jesus, I give all my praise to You.

Bridge

You covered me… when I didn’t know.

You protected me… everywhere I go.

You fought for me… when I couldn’t fight.

You stayed with me… through every night.

Oh Jesus, Jesus,

You never left my side.

Jesus, Jesus,

In Your arms I can abide.

Final Chorus

Jesus, You’ve always been there for me,

More faithful than my eyes could ever see.

Through every dream, through every night,

You cover me with Your holy light.

I will praise Your name for all my days,

For Your protection, Your love, Your grace.

As long as I breathe, my song will be—

Thank You, Jesus, for always protecting me.

Outro

You were there…

You are here…

And I know You’ll always be.

Thank You, Jesus…

For always watching over me.
