Always Been There

We've all got our burdens

Our secrets and our shames,

We've all been discouraged

And watched love fall in flames,

And when we hit the bottom

Of all that we can bear

And we need you

You're rising like the morning sun

A pillar in the night

You looked into the void

And called it light

You are faithfully providing

For the trouble that we share

When we need you

You've always been there

Blessed are the poor

All around the world

Your children

Living under war and oppression

To the man of sorrows

They whisper up their prayers

And when they need you

You're rising like the morning sun

A pillar in the night

You looked into the void

And called it light

You are faithfully providing

For the trouble that we share

When we need you

You've always been there

And how do we know

In the dark of the night

To call out for You, Lord,

To come with Your light?

We were born with you written on our hearts

And that we need you

You're rising like the morning sun

A pillar in the night

You looked into the void

And called it light

You are faithfully providing

For the trouble that we share

When we need you

You've always been there
