You’ve grown weary in the battle
That has raged on now for years.
And so often you’ve thought that you were all alone
Struggling uphill through your tears.
But behold, I am with you,
And I’ve been with you along –
In your battles, and in your triumphs;
When you’ve been weak,
And as you’ve grown ever more strong.
I have cared for you, And I have carried you,
Even from the days of old;
And behold, I am with you
Forever, as you have been told.
In the darkness, in the quiet,
You have poured out your heart to me.
And so often you’ve thought that you were all alone,
Oh, if only you could lift your eyes and see
And behold that I am with you,
And I’ve been with you along –
In your battles, and in your triumphs;
When you’ve been weak,
And as you’ve grown ever more strong.
I have cared for you, And I have carried you,
Even from the days of old;
And behold, I am with you
Forever, as you have been told.
I’ve walked each pathway that you now walk;
I’ve stood where you now stand;
So I know how to sustain you now,
By my tender and out-stretched hand. (Keychange)
And behold, I am with you,
And I’ve been with you along –
In your battles, and in your triumphs;
When you’ve been weak,
And as you’ve grown ever more strong.
I have cared for you, And I have carried you,
Even from the days of old;
And behold, I am with you
Forever, as you’ve been told.
I am with you….
