Lyrics
When I needed a Saviour
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking back on time,
Seeking to remind myself of all Your mercies,
I can testify, on every page of life,
Your grace just keeps unfolding and unfolding.
CHORUS A:
You made me fruitful in the land of my suffering, Father.
You made me hopeful in the place of no hope;
Poured oil of gladness on the wounds of my struggling, and You
Poured oil of healing on the depths of my soul.
CHORUS B:
When I needed a Saviour, You were there, You were there.
When I needed a Healer, You were there, You were there.
When I needed a my Father, You were there, You were there,
You are here, You are here.
VERSE 2:
Ever since the day
I looked upon the cross I've realised Your mercy.
For every stage of life, sweet and bitter times,
Your love just keeps unfolding, and unfolding.
