Track 23. You Were There
(A Folk Song for God)
Intro:
I've stumbled down paths and called your name,
Father, Son, and Spirit, one and the same.
Verse 1:
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve walked through rain,
I’ve known the sting of loss and pain.
But through it all, through dark despair,
I turned around—and You were there.
Verse 2:
I’ve been the lost lamb, wandered wide,
Too proud to call, too broke inside.
Yet when my knees hit dusty ground,
I heard Your voice—without a sound.
Chorus:
You were there in the whisper, there in the storm,
There in the night, keepin’ me warm.
When the waves crashed high, when the well ran dry,
You were the light in my weary sky.
Verse 3:
I’ve cursed the heavens, I’ve damned my fate,
Shouted “Why?” at the garden gate.
But even then, through every doubt,
You held my heart—You pulled me out.
Chorus:
You were there in the whisper, there in the storm,
There in the night, keepin’ me warm.
When the waves crashed high, when the well ran dry,
You were the light in my weary sky.
Bridge:
I ain’t no saint, I’ve been knocked down,
But You still walk this dusty ground.
No matter how far I have strayed,
Your mercy’s stronger than my shame.
Final Chorus:
You were there in the whisper, there in the storm,
There in the night, keepin’ me warm.
When the waves crashed high, when the well ran dry,
You were the light in my weary sky.
Outro:
So I’ll keep singin’, I’ll keep on,
Through every dusk, into the dawn.
For now I know, through joy and care,
I turn around—and You are there.
