Right here next to you all the time
Verse 1
I found myself standing there,
In the valley's darkest shade;
Frightened, weak, and all alone,
All my strength had slipped away.
I longed to run, but could not move;
Darkness covered all I knew.
The valley seemed too dark to see—
Lord, where are You?
Chorus
I will never forsake you,
Oh no, never, never.
I gave My life to save you;
I won't leave you there alone.
Though the valley's dark and deep,
My glory is your light.
I am walking by your side,
Right next to you all the time.
Verse 2
I'm afraid; the wolves are near,
I can hear their savage howl.
Oh, my Saviour, where are You?
Have You left me here to die?
Did You hide from all this fear?
Did You turn and walk away?
This valley is too dark to see—
Lord, hear me pray.
Chorus
I will never forsake you,
Oh no, never, never.
I gave My life to save you;
I won't leave you there alone.
Though the valley's dark and deep,
My glory is your light.
I am walking by your side,
Right next to you all the time.
Verse 3
Lord Jesus, are You here?
Do You really care for me?
Why bring me this far today
If You'll leave me here to grieve?
Didn't You know all along
This road was dark to see?
Lord, please let my eyes behold
Your presence here with me.
Ending (slowly – sung by Jesus)
I was here with you all along,
Right beside you every day.
Fear and doubt had closed your eyes
And hid My light away.
If only you had trusted Me,
Then you would surely see:
The valley shines with My own glory—
I'm right next to you all the time.
