[Verse 1] I was reaching in the dark Hands on empty air Counting all my losses You were standing there Close enough to touch me I just couldn't see Busy chasing shadows You were chasing me [Pre-Chorus] Then the walls went thin And the room lit up Every broken answer Fell right out my cup I turned and gasped Like I'd been struck [Chorus] Why, He was there all the time There all the time Right by my side Why, He was there all the time There all the time I never knew it (He was there all the time) [Verse 2] Every slammed door taught me Every scar was true Every dead-end hallway Led me back to You I was small and certain You were far away Now the whole wide distance Turns into grace [Pre-Chorus] Then the night split open Like a curtain torn Every fear I carried Looked so worn I said it loud I was never alone [Chorus] Why, He was there all the time There all the time Right by my side Why, He was there all the time There all the time I never knew it (He was there all the time) [Bridge] All my life You were holding me Through the fire You were covering me What I missed Was never lost You were the mercy I had walked across [Final Chorus] Why, He was there all the time There all the time Right by my side Why, He was there all the time There all the time I never knew it (He was there all the time) Why, He was there all the time There all the time Now I can see (He was there all the time)
