Always There
Todd Agnew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been leaning on things I'm finding unstable
I've been standing on things that are unsure
I've been surrounding myself with things I'm finding unable to fill me
Unable to still my trembling soul

But you're always there when I turn around
Even though I've been running for so long
You're always there when I cry out
Even when I've been silent for so long
You're always there when I need You, I need You

I've been reaching for things that are no good to me
I've been wrestling with things that are bringing me down
I've been losing sleep over things that really don't matter
I know You want better but it?s so hard to see Your side

But you're always there when I turn around
Even though I've been running for so long
You're always there when I cry out
Even when I've been silent for so long, so long
You're always there when I need You, I need You

Can You hear me?
Can You hear me calling?
'Cause it?s been so long
And I'm sorry that it?s been so long, so long

you're always there when I turn around
Even though I've been running for so long
You're always there when I cry out loud
Even when I've been silent for so long, so long

you're always there
You're always there




You're always there when I need You, I need You
Nees You
