Verse 1
G C
Every time I tried to make it on my own
G D
Every time I tried to stand and ended up falling down
G C
Every time I try to take control and end up letting go
G D
God, I need You, I need You
Chorus
G C
In the waiting, in the searching
G D
In the healing and the hurting
G C
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
G D
Every minute, every moment
Em
Where I’ve been and where I’m going
C D
Even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it
G C D
There was Jesus
Verse 2
G C
On the mountain, in the valleys
G D
In the shadows of the alleys

In the fire, in the flood
G D
Always is and always was
G
No, I never walk a-lone
C G
You are always there
D G
You are always there
Chorus
G C
In the waiting, in the searching
G D
In the healing and the hurting

There was Jesus
Bridge
Em C
For this man who needs a savior

For this heart that’s on the run

For this soul that needs a father
G D
For this life that needs a Son
Em C
When I couldn’t see a way
G D
You made a way for me
Chorus
G C
In the waiting, in the searching

In the healing and the hurting
G C
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces

You are always there
