Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to damn those desert valleys
But now I thank You for those droughts
I used to curse the walls around me
But now I see You had it figured out
[Chorus]
And it was all working for my good
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
[Verse 2]
There is beauty in the ashes
There's a peace within the storm
And there's a song for every season
So don't stop singing
On and on, until you see the sun
[Chorus]
'Cause it was all working for my good
I see it now
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake
And I know You never will
[Verse 3]
I know You never will
You'll never leave me, You'll never leave
And I trust You
Even when I don't see You, I still trust You
When I don't understand
I'll still lift my hands and worship in the middle of it
[Bridge]
When I should've lost my mind
You showed up right on time
And carried me through the valley
All the way on the other side
And when pain tried to take my joy
That's when I felt You more
Now I've gotta testify
[Bridge]
God, You kept my heart alive
I didn't know if I'd survived
I gave up so many times
But You kept my heart alive
[Bridge]
When loved ones came to die
You never left my side
And You kept my heart alive
[Bridge]
I'll praise You in the day
And I'll praise You through the night
'Cause You kept my heart alive
[Bridge]
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
'Cause You kept my heart
You kept my heart alive
Nobody else could do it
Nobody else could do it
You kept my heart alive
And nobody else could do it
But nobody else could do it
You kept my heart alive
Nobody else could do it, nobody else could do it
Nobody else could do it, nobody else could do it
Nobody else could do it, nobody else could do it
Nobody else could do it, nobody else could do it
[Chorus]
You never left me in the valley
It was all working for my good
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
You didn't forsake me
God, You didn't forsake
And I know You never will
[Bridge]
You never will
You never will
You never will
You never will
[Chorus]
And it was all working for my good
If only I knew back then what I know right now
I wouldn't have been mad at You
And nothing is wasted in Your hands
I know, God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
[Outro]
God, You didn't forsake
God, You didn't forsake
And I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake
And I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake, and I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake, and I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake, and I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake, and I know You never will
