Contemporary Gospel Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've felt sin's breakers dashing, my trying to conquer my soul
I've heard the voice of Jesus when telling me to fight on
He promised never to leave me, no, never alone
Never alone, never alone, oh, never
Never alone, never alone
He'll never leave you alone
The world's fierce winds are blowing, temptations sharp and keen
I felt a peace in knowing my Savior stands between
He stands to shield me from danger when earthly friends are gone
He promised never to leave me, no, never alone
Never alone, never alone, oh, never
Never alone, never alone
He'll never leave you alone
Instrumental section
He'll never leave you alone
When in affliction's valley, I'm treading the road of care
My Savior helps me to carry my cross when heavy to bear
My feet entangled with briars, ready to cast me down
He'll never leave you alone
When in affliction's valley, I'm treading the road of care
My Savior helps me to carry my cross when heavy to bear
My feet entangled with briars, ready to cast me down
He'll never leave you alone
Never
Oh, He'll never leave you alone
