"Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul."
-- Psalm 94:17-19

You Were There

When I was feeling desperate
like the world was crashing around me
When I felt I couldn't take it anymore
You were there

You saved my heart from darkness
my soul from depair
when I thought I'd never make it
You were there

I thought I was drowing
I thought I was burning
I thought I was falling
but You were there

I thought I was crumbling
I thought I was broken
I thought I was dying
but You were there

My soul was in danger
of being torn apart
my heart was in peril
And You were there

My life was crumbling
in a heap around me
but You picked up the pieces
and You were there

I thought I was drowing
I thought I was burning
I thought I was falling
but You were there

I thought I was crumbling
I thought I was broken
I thought I was dying
but You were there

I've been in anguish
I've been in torment
I've been drowned in tears
I've been in pain

But through it all
You have never left me
and I'm now fully convinced
that, my Lord and Savior, you'll always be there

And I thought I was drowing
I thought I was burning
I thought I was falling
but You were there

I thought I was crumbling
I thought I was broken
I thought I was dying
but You were there

"But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God is the rock in whom I take refuge."
-- Psalm 94:22
