YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

By "Rebekah" the Bride

(Heb.12:2; Isa.58:11; Ps.32:7;=20
Heb.13:5; Jn.10:29; Deut.33:27)
***
Lord, You were always there
just listening for my prayer;
yes, You were always there beside me.
You suffered all my shame,
and You felt all my pain;
and all You meant to do was hide me.
Lord, You held out Your hand;
You offered me Your plan;
were always longing just to guide me.
I was too blind to see
to know You cared for me,
to realize You were right beside me.
***
If only I had known,
when I felt so alone,
that You were right there by my side.
If I had felt Your touch,
and known You loved so much,
I'd know You were a place to hide.
But now I know You're here;
I see that very clear.
I'll never doubt Your care again.
Oh, how I love You so,
for now I really know
that You are truly my best Friend.
***
Oh, Lord, I need to know
You'll never let me go,
oh, even though I from You stray.
And so this is my plea,
this is my special need,
to know You'll never go away.
Oh, yes, My child, it's true,
I'll always be with you.
I cannot lie, I'll keep My word.
So you are safe with Me
no matter where you flee.
This is the truth that I want heard.
***
O, children of the King,
He'll always to you cling;
His lasting arms are underneath.
Secure in Him you'll be;
oh, this I hope you see.
His love for you will never cease.
Now, in this world below
it's really good to know
that God is always there to guide me;
and in the life to come,
when I'm in heaven's home,
eternally He'll be beside me.
