Every time I tried to make it on my own Every time I tried to stand and 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 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 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) 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
