Always Been There Lyrics

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
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
