as i was on my way to work yesterday morning i heard an awesome song come on the radio…the very first line captured my attention. as i listened to the words i could feel my eyes welling with tears…i understood this song, i understood it’s meaning…i’ve been there, right THERE, ready to give up…in my car in the middle of the woods at midnight crying out to God…i’ve had that exact moment that defined my existence…and just as this song says God didn’t fail me…he was there for me every step of the way, many days carrying me when i couldn’t walk myself…

this is what ‘building 429’ says is behind the song:”There is a moment in each of our lives that will undoubtedly define our existence from that point on. Some of us have already faced it, and some of us are still awaiting ours. The moment when, for the first time, we stare injustice in the face. When an innocent child is murdered, when a father walks out on a family, when life seems completely unfair. That moment that undoubtedly brings us to our knees to ask the question: “God, Where are you?” If we listen closely, I believe he would say: “My child, I am before you. I will be long after you, and always I will be with You.” This is the true story of two people who faced that very question and found peace in the storm in the truth of God with us.” – Building 429

I was standing in the pouring rain one dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold when she caught my eye
Her face was taught and her eyes were filled, and to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph and my heart just stopped inside
She said, “He would’ve been three todayI miss his smile, I miss his face”
What was I supposed to say, but

CHORUS
I believe always, always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
He will be with you always

He was living in a broken world, dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace when I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt when his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears and the anger locked inside
He’s barely holding onto faith
But deliverance is on its way, cause

CHORUS
I believe always, always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
He will be with you always

Friend, I don’t know where you are and I don’t know where you’ve been
Maybe you’re fighting for your life or just about to throw the towel in
But if you’re crying out for mercy, if there’s no hope left at all
If you’ve given everything you’ve got and you’re still about to fall

Well hold on, hold on, hold on, causeI believe always, always
Our savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
Always, always, He will be with you always
