[Verse 1]
        D/F#        Em7
When we were in the darkest night

    D/F#            G               C
And wondered if our eyes would ever see the light

                 D/F#
You were there, Lord

                    Em7
When we were in the stormy gale

    D/F#             G            C
And wondered if we'd ever live in peace again

         D/F#
You were there, Lord


[Pre-chorus 1]
                      C

You were there in the fight

You were there all the time

[Verse 2]
            Em7
So whatever lies ahead

    D/F#           G                    C
Whatever roads our grateful hearts will come to tread

          D/F#
You'll be there, Lord

                Em7
We will fix our eyes on You

    D/F#               G               C
And know that there is grace enough to see us through

          D/F#
You'll be there, Lord


[Pre-chorus 2]
                       C
You'll be there in the struggle

                       G
You'll be there in the fight

                        C           D
You'll be there all the time
