Never Once
Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking just how far we've come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we'll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Your are, You are faithful, God, You are faithful

My wife has had severe heart problems since 1998. Four heart attacks, one quadruple by-pass surgery, 49 heart-caths (literally!), plus a time of being in a coma due to encephylitis- NEVER ONCE DID WE EVER WALK ALONE!! God is faithful. We have been married nearly 34 years, no regrets, with both of our children & spouses in full-time pastoring, and beautiful grandchildren. I've had my share of back surgeries forcing us out of the pastoral ministry but, once again: NEVER ONCE DID WE EVER WALK ALONE!!! Life is not perfect but Jesus has been perfect for us.
