Never alone.
To think that I am never alone,
Never alone,
Wherever I go.
Never alone,
In this world below,
Up to heaven,
Never alone,
Down into hell,
Never alone.
In this hole which I have dug?
Never alone.
A friend,
Up high,
Or down below,
I am never alone.
Jesus is here with me,
When I’m sad,
When I’m happy.
A friend,
Dear and true,
A friend,
For me and you.
He loves you,
Gave up heaven for you,
Gave it all,
To be with you.
In your pit,
Way down there,
He was laid,
In the lowest lair,
In the deepest den,
Of the beast within.
He took your flesh,
And all its sin,
He took it,
Upon Him.
He wore your smile,
He wore your frown,
He wore it all,
Like a crown.
He felt your pain,
He cried your tears,
He knew your trials,
And He felt your fears.
Alone He walked,
Alone with you.
He was alone,
Not you.
Alone He walked,
To be with you,
Through dangers,
Ever new.
Up the mountains,
Down the valleys,
He walked it all,
E?en the darkest alleys.
He wore your spit,
Upon His face,
He bore the cross,
In your place.
He wore those nails,
That you drove in,
The spear in his side,
Your guilt, within.
But more than that,
He had a friend,
A friend from eternity,
That, because of you,
He couldn?t see.
So if you think you’ve got it hard,
Think again.
He did this,
So you could be His friend.
His mouth,
He opened not,
Though pain, intense.
Like a sheep is dumb,
He bore the penalty
Of your offense.
And He died.
Bowed His head upon His breast.
Gave it all up,
And entered into rest.
|
So now there He is,
Standing in Heaven,
Beside His Father,
Pleading,
That you will be forgiven.
He loves you dear,
He loves you sore,
He loves you so much,
He couldn’t love you any more.
He gave up all to be with you,
So why stay here,
And pine away?
Do you really want,
Upon this earth to stay?
He offers you His hand.
Then take it,
Hold it tight,
And He will help you,
Through the night.
He’s trod the path before,
He?s been stricken,
And He?s been sore.
He’s felt it all
So He can feel it with you,
He’s done it all,
So He can say “I’m with you.”
Yes, He’s your Friend,
But are you His?
Do you love Him,
As He loves you?
Would you die for Him,
As He died for you?
If you say, “I do”,
Then you are His friend too.
But if you just can’t quite,
Then,
Hold on tight.
He’ll help you,
Through the night.
Yes, A Friend,
For me and you.
A Friend,
Dear and True.
“Never alone,”
With joy you can say;
Unless you tell Him:
“Go away.”
In which case, He will,
He will not stay.
He will turn His back,
And walk away.
But I hope you won’t,
And I pray that you don’t,
Because if you do,
Then you will be all alone.
All alone,
In the world out there,
All alone,
With no one to care.
So stop and consider,
What He has done for you.
After all that,
Can’t you be His friend too?
So please don’t be silly,
Let Him in.
Why not?
He wants to be your friend?
Just over there,
He’s waiting,
He’s waiting for you.
He’s waiting for you,
To say the words,
“I love you too!”
Aaaah,
Blessed peace,
Never alone.
Never alone,
With Jesus my Friend,
Never alone,
Love, without end.
Never alone,
Is my prayer today,
Never alone,
I pray we can all say.
