You Were There

You never left me (No)

You never left me (No, no, no)

Looking back on when I was young

Going to church was so much fun

And as soon as the service was done

We use to mimic the pastor

I won't forget where I've come from

And I can't forget the things you've done

That's why I made the choice

To give you me (Yeah, yeah, oh)

You were there all the time

Waitin' patiently in line for me

When I didn't know you were the light

You never left me

So glad you kept me (So glad, so glad)

Almost got caught up in this world

Hangin' out all night

Doin' wrong with my girls

Before I knew it, I could tell

That I was going the wrong way

And all the things I use to do

Can't do no more because of you

I gave it up so I could spend

My life with you, you (Oh)

See, I know right from wrong

And I know where I belong

That's why I can't let nothing turn me away

And all the things that I do

Will be pleasing to you

And I pray that one day

We're face to face

You were there all the time (You were there, you were there)

Waitin' patiently in line for me

When I didn't know you were the light

You never left me

So glad you kept me

You were there all the time (All the time)

Waitin' patiently in line for me (Oh, yeah)

When I didn't know you were the light

You never left me

So glad you kept me

You were there all the time (Oh, yeah, all the time)

Waitin' patiently in line for me (Oh, yeah)

When I didn't know you were the light (Didn't know)

You never left me

So glad you kept me

You were there all the time (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Waitin' patiently in line for me

When I didn't know you were the light

You never left me

So glad you kept me
