Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you'd never leave me, leave me
Said you won't forsake me
Said you won't forsake me, 'sake me
Even now I'm older
Never have I seen the righteous forsaken
Even what you told me
You would always hold me
Safe in the palm of your hand
Even though I go through the valley of the shadow
I'm not forgotten
Never let a day go by
My, my
Gonna shout it from the mountain
I just wanna say
I'm not afraid
I know that you are with me
Always
Even now I'm older
Never have I seen the righteous forsaken
Even what you told me
You would always hold me
Safe in the palm of your hand
Even though I go through the valley of the shadow
I'm not forgotten
Never let a day go (and I never let a day go by)
My, my
Gonna shout it from the mountain
I just wanna say
I'm not afraid
I know that you are with me (said I know that you are with me)
