Cm Ab Eb
I wonder how it must have felt
Cm Ab Bbsus Bb
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
Cm F/A Bb Eb/G
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Fm Bbsus
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
Ab Eb
'Cause You were there, You were there
Fm Eb
In the midst of danger's snare
Ab Eb Bbsus Bb
You were there, You were there always

You were there when the hardest fight

Seemed so out of reach

Oh, You were there, You were always there

You were always there Ab Eb Ab Bbsus
Cm Ab Eb
So there he stood upon that hill
Cm Ab Bbsus Bb

But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans

And just in time, You brought a lamb
Ab
'Cause You were there,

You were there

In the midst of the unclear

You are God and though we would

Not have understood You
There You were

Hanging blameless on a cross
Ebm B C#sus C#
You would rather die than leave us in the dark

Every moment, every planned coincidence

With Your last breath

During history's darkest hour

You are the living, Holy one

the Risen Lamb of God
