You Never Left

[Verse 1]
My God, my God, where are You now?
I cry out, but You don’t make a sound.
Day and night, I reach for light,
But You feel hidden from my sight.

Still, You are holy, enthroned in praise—
Our fathers trusted You and walked in faith.
They called Your name, You heard their cries,
You rescued them—You never passed them by.

[Chorus]
You never left, You never changed,
Even when silence filled the space.
In my weakness, in my pain,
You were working through the flame.
Though I feel alone in this test,
I believe it still—You never left.

[Verse 2]
I’m scorned, mocked, misunderstood,
Surrounded by the ones who said You would.
They shake their heads, “Let God save him”—
But they don’t know what You’ve done within.

You brought me out into this world,
You held me close when I was just a girl. (or boy/child)
So don’t be far when trials rise,
There’s no one else who hears my cries.

[Chorus]
You never left, You never changed,
Even when silence filled the space.
In my weakness, in my pain,
You were working through the flame.
Though I feel alone in this test,
I believe it still—You never left.

[Bridge]
The enemies gather, I’m surrounded and dry,
But You are my strength when I have no fight.
You hold my soul when my hope is thin,
And I will praise You once again.

[Verse 3]
The poor will eat, the humble sing,
The lost will come and find their King.
The ends of earth will bow and say,
“The Lord is God, He made a way.”

[Final Chorus]
You never left, You never changed,
Even when silence filled the space.
Now I sing, through joy and pain,
You were faithful yesterday.
And I will tell the world the rest:
Through it all—You never left.
