I Am HereWhen your heart was sad and lonelyYou did not feel my presence with you But I was there. And when your strength to face tomorrow was in doubt I saw your tears, and heard your prayers. And when you hungered, longed and thirsted To be filled with my Holy Spirit once again. You could not hear my words, “I love you” Or sense my loving arms surround you But I was there… I was with you all the time. Chorus:Yes, I am here when your heart is heavy burdenedAnd I am here to bring you comfort in the dark I’m still here when you cannot find your song to sing As was my promise to you, child I will not leave you, or forsake you This is my promise to you child… I am here. I was there all the time Concealed by the shadows of your sorrow. I was there all the time My Spirit quenched by your sad and heavy heart. I was there when you believed There’d never be another new song to sing I did not leave you or forsake you As was my promise to you, child… I am here Repeat Chorus:Yes, I am here when your heart is heavy burdenedAnd I am here to bring you comfort in the dark I’m still here when you cannot find your song to sing As was my promise to you, child I will not leave you, or forsake you This is my promise to you child… I am here.
