Verse 1
They say this journey here below is full of sorrow
And the only guarantee is grief and pain
There’s no one that you truly can depend on
In your lonely hour they’ll turn away
Oh but I have a friend Who loves me like no other
He’s never failed to stay there by my side
I have confidence in my sufficient Savior
And if you’d like to ask me I would love to tell you why
CHORUS
If He fails me now it’ll be the first time
‘Cause He’s brought me through every struggle every trial
So I’m gonna ^trust Him with ^every ^part of my life
‘Cause if He fails me now it’ll be the very first time
Verse 2
Faithful as I walk through every valley
A loving shelter when I need Him most
A comfort while the enemy surrounds me
With arms of grace that always hold me close
So even in the dark I’ll count my blessings
With the assurance that He’s always seen me through
I don’t have to know the next storm I’ll be facing
‘Cause this is what you’ll hear me say, if and when I do
