Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
Lord, God, You are so wonderous
Gently shaping every mountain side
Giving life to creatures great and small
Sharing a yearning that can't be denied
On the road, along the way
Through the trials of each day
We're reaching out to You and You are always there for us

(Chorus)
You're always there
Always there when we are hurting
Always there when things go wrong
You always care
For the weary and the burdened
In our weakness You're so strong
You're always there

(Verse 2)
Lord, God, You are our strength within
You are the pillars guarding over us
You're the doorway where our love begins
You are the Father in whose arms we trust
On the road, along the way
Through the trials of each day
We're reaching out to You and You are always there for us

(Repeat chorus)
You're always there
Always there when we are hurting
Always there when things go wrong
You always care
For the weary and the burdened
In our weakness You're so strong

(Piano solo)

On the road, along the way
Through the trials of each day
We're reaching out to You and You are always there for us

(Repeat chorus)
You're always there
Always there when we are hurting
Always there when things go wrong
You always care
For the weary and the burdened
In our weakness You're so strong

(Ending)
Lord, God of the universe
Always by my side
Lord, God of the universe
Always walking by my side

Thank you so much for this song, and I just found out that Paul Gentry really sounds at the track just like a teenager singing in this song, I'm so amazed when I saw his picture. Every one here are really such persons given with great voices and talents especially the emotions when singing it. Im so inspired thank you so much.

2008-09-23I'm helping in the Music ministry of our small church. I don't know to play piano and I hardly could buy Christian Music CD's. Thanks for the free music Your song is a blessing!

We sang this song during a birthday party and I have set this to be sang in a wedding party. When there's a celebration, it's just right to remember the Lord and what He has done. This song is a great reminder. Sounds entertaining too
