[Intro]
G  G
[Verse 1]
      G
Every time I tried to make it on my own
      Bm
Every time I tried to stand and start to fall
              C                                 Am7
And all those lonely roads that I have travelled   on
          G
There was Jesus
[Verse 2]
         G
When the life I built came crashing to the ground
         Bm
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found
           C                           Am7
I couldn't see it then but I can see it   now
          G      Dsus4
There was Jesus
[Chorus]
       Em
In the waiting, in the searching
       C
In the healing and the hurting
        G                            D
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
      Em
Every minute every moment
           C
Where I've been and where I'm going
     G                                     Dsus4
Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it
D         G
There was Jesus
[Verse 3]
         G
For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (Mmm)
       Bm
For forgiveness at a price I couldn't pay (Mmm)
        C                  Am7 C     Am7
I'm not perfect so I thank God every day
          G                Dsus4
There was Jesus (There was Jesus)
[Chorus]
       Em
In the waiting, in the searching

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
      Em
Every minute every moment
           C
Where I've been and where I'm going
     G                                     Dsus4
Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

                        Csus2              G
On the mountain, in the valleys (There was Jesus)
                      Bm7     D7        Em7
In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus)
                    Csus2            G
In the fire, in the flood (There was Jesus)
                     Bm7  Em7  C
Always is and always was
                       G
No I never walk alone (Never walk alone)

You are always there
