Friday night and the house is quiet — too quiet for my soul
The friends have all gone home to families and I'm sitting here alone
I scroll through everyone's highlight reel, pretending that I'm fine
But the truth is I've been lonelier than I've let anybody know
And the walls in here feel closer than they did a year ago
I wonder if I'm meant to be this empty, wonder if it shows
But in the stillness something stirs — a Presence, soft and sure
A Shepherd speaking to His sheep: "Child, I'm here — I've always been here for you"
You are with me — in the valley, You are with me
Through the darkest, You have never left my side
You are with me — even when I cannot feel You
Your rod and staff are holding me tonight
You are with me, You are with me
I don't walk this road alone
Even in the lonely places, Lord, You make it feel like home
You are with me
I lost my person — the one who knew me, really knew me, inside out
And the grief of that is bigger than I know how to talk about
I've sat in crowded rooms and still felt invisible as air
And wondered if the God who made the stars could see one person sitting there
Then I read about a shepherd — how He leaves the ninety-nine
To search the hillside in the dark for the one sheep left behind
And something broke inside me — in the best way — when I knew
That I'm the one He's looking for — and He is still pursuing
You are with me — in the valley, You are with me
Through the darkest, You have never left my side
You are with me — even when I cannot feel You
Your rod and staff are holding me tonight
You are with me, You are with me
I don't walk this road alone
Even in the lonely places, Lord, You make it feel like home
You are with me
Surely goodness — surely mercy shall follow me
All the days — all the days of my life
And I will dwell — I will dwell in the house of the Lord
And He will dwell — He will dwell inside of mine
You're the Good Shepherd — You know my name
You laid Your life down — I'll never be the same
When the silence gets so heavy I could sink beneath the weight
Your voice finds me in the valley — and You call me by my name
You are with me — in the valley, You are with me
Through the darkest, You have never left my side
You are with me — even when I cannot feel You
Your rod and staff are holding me tonight
You are with me, You are with me
I don't walk this road alone
The Lord is my Shepherd — I shall not want
He is with me — He is with me — He is with me
