Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't see You in the dark
I didn't feel You when it started
But looking back along the road
I see the places You were guarded
Every corner where I nearly broke
Every silence where You softly spoke

[Verse 2]
The hand I couldn't feel was Yours
The ground I stood on wasn't mine
The path I thought I found alone
Was drawn before I crossed the line
And every breath I took in fear
Was borrowed from a grace so near

[Chorus]
You were there
Before I knew to look
You were there
In every page I couldn't read of Your book
You were there
When I was sealed behind the wall
You were there
You were there through it all

[Verse 3]
The stars I couldn't see were lit
The water I refused to drink was clean
The voice I thought was my own strength
Was something deeper than I'd ever been
I walked as if I walked alone
But every step was guided home

[Chorus]
You were there
Before I knew to look
You were there
In every page I couldn't read of Your book
You were there
When I was buried in the fight
You were there
Walking with me between shadows and light

[Bridge]
I don't deserve the hand You gave
I didn't earn the ground You paved
But here I stand on borrowed grace
And for the first time I can see Your face
Not because I found You
But because You never left this place

[Final Chorus]
You were there
Before I knew to look
You were there
In every page I couldn't read of Your book
You were there
Through the hiding and the fire and the fall
You were there
You were there through it all
