Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have felt abandoned
And struggled to believe
In so many circumstances
When I just could not sing
Yet through all the heartache
Of the heaviness and grief
Time and time again I've seen
He won't leave
He won't leave
Don't you worry don't you fear
He is moving in this moment
Though right now it's just not clear
Lift your head, don't forget
He is kind in all He does
His arms are always open
His presence is enough
And He won't leave
I may not reap the harvest
That I have sown in tears
I want to be found faithful
At the end of all my years
Standing on the shoulders
Of saints who've gone before
I'm reminded of the goodness of the lord
He won't leave
He won't leave
Don't you worry don't you fear
He is moving in this moment
Though right now it's just not clear
Lift your head, don't forget
He is kind in all He does
His arms are always open
His presence is enough
And He won't leave
I know He is good
Over and over
Yes I have seen it
Working through the trial
He is redeeming
Yes I believe it
He won't leave
He won't leave
Don't you worry don't you fear
He is moving in this moment
Though right now it's just not clear
Lift your head, don't forget
He is kind in all He does
His arms are always open
His presence is enough
And He won't leave
