You Never Left

Verse 1

I came with questions, hands open wide

Worn from the waiting, tired inside

I searched for answers in all the wrong places

When You were near me, steady and patient

Verse 2

I walked through valleys calling Your name

Thinking You’d left me, but You remained

Every step forward, even my drifting

You were still guiding, gently leading

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t feel You

I couldn’t see

But every breath was mercy

Holding me

Chorus

You never left me

Not for a moment in time

When I was breaking

You were standing by my side

So I give You my heart

I give You my life

Every season, every breath

You were there the whole time

Verse 3

I tried to carry what wasn’t mine

Tried to be strong, tried to be fine

But all along You were asking softly

“Just lay it down, come rest in Me”

Pre-Chorus

All of my striving

All of my fear

Every doubt I held inside

I leave it here

Chorus

You never left me

Not for a moment in time

When I was breaking

You were standing by my side

So I give You my heart

I give You my life

Every season, every breath

You were there the whole time

Bridge (soft, then build)

I give You my yes

I give You my trust

I give You the pieces

I give You what’s left of me

I give You my past

I give You my now

I give You my future

I lay it all down

Bridge (repeat, lifted)

I lay it all down

I lay it all down

Chorus (full / lifted)

You never left me

Not for a moment in time

When I was breaking

You were standing by my side

So I give You my heart

I give You my life

Every season, every breath

You were there the whole time

Outro (ministry moment)

You were there

You were there

You were always there
