Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Time after time I was searching for peace in some void

I was trying to blame all my ills on this world I was in

Surface relationships used me till I was done in

But all the while someone was begging to free me from sin 


He was there all the time

He was there all the time

Waiting patiently in line

He was there all the time 

Never again will I search for a fake rainbows end

Now that I?ve found the answer my life is just starting to rhyme

Sharing each new day with Him is a breath of fresh life

Oh what I've missed He's been waiting right here all the time 


He was there all the time

He was there all the time

Waiting patiently in line

He was there all the time
