"There Was Jesus" lyrics

Every time I tried to make it on my own
Every time I tried to stand, I start to fall
And all those lonely roads that I have travelled on
There was Jesus

When the life I built came crashing to the ground
And when the friends I had were nowhere to be found
I couldn't see it then, but I can see it now
There was Jesus

In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, and the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been, and where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it, or couldn't see it
There was Jesus

For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (oh yeah)
And for forgiveness at a price I couldn't pay
No, I'm not perfect, so I thank God every day, oh yeah
There was Jesus
There was Jesus

Whoa, in the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, and the hurting
Like a blessing buried in broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been, and where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it, or couldn't see it

On the mountain, in the valleys, oh
In the shadows of the alleys, oh
In the fire, in the flood
There was Jesus (one who is and is to come)

Ooh-whoa, in the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, and the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been, and where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it, or couldn't see it
There was Jesus
