Ever After Songtext
von Brother

You′ve watched me my whole life Lord
From my childhood
To my addictions
To my failures
To my victories
But even when I didn't do things right
Even after walking away
From you
You were still there
You never gave up on me
Even after all of it
Your mercies were new everyday
And you never left me
Or forsake me
And that′s why I have to say this


Even after all the cries
Even after all the tries
To try and get it right
You were there
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after all of it
You were there
And even when I thought
I should of died
You showed me
You were by my side
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after everything
You were there


Now how could this ever
Be put into words
I guess I'll try
Only your love and the grace
Be the reason I'm breathing
And living this life
I wonder my Father why you would
Be loving with me
With all of my days
And thinking of me
Selfish I am
Too blind to really see
Cause back in the days
I was going no where
Falling to hell
And I really don′t care
An elder be speaking to me
And I′m like can I please
Get up out of this chair
I really don't care
I can′t see him
So why should I even bother
They preaching why listen
I'm sick of it all
But that′s when my life got harder
Cause mommy was gone
And daddy got drunk
Theres people in pain
So, why'd they get hit
My brother was taken away
In a car and all I could do was
Stare at it
Wonder about God
And all of the stuff
I′ve been hearing for years
Be feeling the pain of hurt
Little kid in a room with tears
While fears be gripping my life
I'm older not sober just wanting to fight
Identity issues
The reason I wound up tight
I called on God He saved my life
Here I am I apologize
I'm accepting your grace
Romans 10:9
I finally see the glory on His face
And so I say

Even after all the cries
Even after all the tries
To try and get it right
You were there
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after all of it
You were there
And even when I thought
I should of died
You showed me
You were by my side
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after everything
You were there

So, when does it finish
I′m running this race
I should of been gone
So long ago
Decided I′m worthy of life
I'm trying to do this right
No matter what
I′m keep on pushing toward the end
Whatever the pain
Whatever the joy
You're saving me so
Sending the one who was destined to lose
Chosen by people to cripple his life
And be rotting in jail
This is who I am
I′m the one who never fails
And I've had a lot of that
Like when addiction was a life
I felt so cold
My eyes be crystalized
And He led me off the ice
And even when the pain was great
You were there
And even in the times we wait
You were never late
You were there
Must of been a thousand prayers
That I had prayed
In the midst of all of them
You were always there
To say that I was saved
From the jail cell
To old calvary
To a addiction
To a ministry
From the joys of being on track
To the car wreck that had us flat
The devil be thinking he′s winning
But mighty is he who be guiding
The life in me
And even after everything
This is what I sing
O Lord

Even after all the cries
Even after all the tries
To try and get it right
You were there
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after all of it
You were there
And even when I thought
I should of died
You showed me
You were by my side
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after everything
You were there

Even after all the cries
Even after all the tries
To try and get it right
You were there
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after all of it
You were there
And even when I thought
I should of died
You showed me
You were by my side
And even after all the pain
Even after all the shame
Even after everything
You were there
