I have been helpless, I have been helpful I have been useless, I have been used I have flown on the wings of the morning I have descended through a dark lonely place He's been there In good times and bad times He's been there When I could not carry on, my Lord's been there When my heart had no words, the loving Father still heard I've never been alone for He's been there I do not know the things you are facing Battles ahead or victories to win But I can tell you His love never faileth Jesus is always a compassionate friend He's been there In good times and bad times He's been there When I could not carry on, my Lord's been there When my heart had no words, the loving Father still heard I've never been alone for He's been there He's been holding me up, when I stumble Guiding my feet in the night He's been there When my heart had no words, the loving Father still heard I've never been alone for He's been there I've never been alone for He's been there
