I remember, and You provided
How You held me through the night
And I remember how You sustained me
When You stepped in to save my life
And if I knew then what I know now
I would be still and let You work it out
Jesus, I was tossed in the water
But I never went under
You were always on time
Jesus, when I went through the fire
You were right there beside me
You were always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
And I remember how You carried
When I couldn't take a step
And I remember how You loved me
When I couldn't love myself
Oh Jesus, I was tossed in the water
But I never went under
You were always on time
Jesus, when I went through the fire
You were right there beside me
You were always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
There's never been a day, never been a minute
Never been a moment that You weren't in it
There's never been a time that You didn't see me through, God
So, I worship You
There's never been a day, never been a minute
Never been a moment that You weren't in it
There's never been a time that You didn't see me through, God
So, I worship You
Never been a day, never been a minute
Never been a moment that You weren't in it
Never been a time that You didn't see me through, God
So, I worship You
There's never been a day, never been a minute
Never been a moment that You weren't in it
There's never been a time that You didn't see me through, God
So, I worship You
Oh Jesus, I was tossed in the water
But I never went under
You were always on time
Jesus, when I went through the fire
You were right there beside me
You were always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
You were always, always, always on time
Oh, I will worship You and You alone
Oh, does anyone need to know?
Are You good? Are You able?
Are You truth? Are You faithful?
Yes, You are. Yes, You are. Yes, You are
I worship You
All I am
I worship You
Every moment I've been given
Oh, I worship You and You alone
I worship You
