Verse 1 (slow, intimate piano/guitar)
In the silence where no one hears me
You know every wound that I carry
No shadow can hide my brokenness
And still You come right by my side
Pre-Chorus
A thousand times I've fallen, a thousand times I've failed
But Your grace finds me once again
Chorus (building emotion, soft harmonies)
You are always there, oh God, You are always there
Your love holds me when everything fades
In the storm and in the calm the same
You are always there, Jesus, You are always there
(Soft repeat: You are always there... always there...)
Verse 2 (deeper, vulnerable)
When I doubt if I'm worth Your sacrifice
When fear steals my faith away
You look at me with eyes of a Father
And You say, "Child, here I am"
Pre-Chorus
Though the world may leave me empty
Your presence fills me once more
Chorus (more intense, backing vocals)
You are always there, oh God, You are always there
Your love never changes, it never fades away
In every breath, in every tear
You are always there, my King, You are always there
Bridge (key emotional moment, spacious and building)
Here I am... with all that I am
I surrender my plans, my fears, my voice
Take my life, make it Yours, oh Lord
I just want to be... where You are
(Progressive repeat: I just want to be... where You are... oh-oh-oh)
Final Chorus (big Hillsong build-up, then gentle fade)
You are always there... (You are always there)
Your love holds me... (it never fades)
In the storm and in the calm the same...
You are always there, Jesus... You are always there
(Last time soft fade: You are always there... my God... You are always there...)
