Walk With Me
The Roses Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord you're always here with me
Always here with me
When i walked thru the shadows
I thought no one was with me
But now i know you're here, so who can stand against me?
Where are my accusers? I'm thankful that God forgives me
Washed clean by the Blood, get behind me enemy
When the going gets tough

God you'll never leave
God you'll never leave
You're always here with me
When i can't offer much
I know you're the one i need
You're the one i need
Lord you're always here with me
Lord your always with me, you're always by my side
I'm hungry for the truth so please shine through the lies
I know joy comes in the AM, but you're here in the night
You're here in the fight
You come through every time
I know i am yours, and Jesus you are mine
You hear all my cries
Been faithful all my life
I know joy comes in the AM, but you're here in the night
You're here in the fight
You come through every time
When the going gets tough
God you'll never leave
God you'll never leave
You're always here with me
When i can't offer much
I know you're the one i need
You're the one i need
Lord you're always here with me
When i battled depression
You were still with me
When anxiety got me
You were still with me
When i feel unworthy
You are still with me
When other people hurt me
You were still with me
You were still with me
You wont ever leave
You wont ever leave
So that's why i sing
When the going gets tough
God you'll never leave
God you'll never leave
You're always here with me
When i can't offer much
I know you're the one i need

You're the one i need
Lord you're always here with me
