Lyrics:
Every time I tried to make it on my own
Every time I tried to stand and start to fall
All those lonely roads that I have travelled on
There was Jesus
When the life I built came crashing to the ground
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found
I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now
There was Jesus

IN THE WAITING AND THE SEARCHING
IN THE HEALING AND THE HURTING
LIKE A BLESSING BURIED IN THE BROKEN PIECES
EVERY MINUTE EVERY MOMENT
OF WHERE I BEEN AND WHERE I’M GOIN
EVEN WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW IT
OR COULDN’T SEE IT
THERE WAS JESUS

For this man who needs amazing kind of grace
For forgiveness at a price I could not pay
I’m not perfect so I thank God every day that
There was Jesus

IN THE WAITING AND THE SEARCHING
IN THE HEALING AND THE HURTING
LIKE A BLESSING BURIED IN THE BROKEN PIECES
EVERY MINUTE EVERY MOMENT
OF WHERE I BEEN AND WHERE I’M GOIN
EVEN WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW IT
OR COULDN’T SEE IT
THERE WAS JESUS

On the mountain in the valleys (There was Jesus)
In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus)
In the fire in the flood (There was Jesus)
Always is and always was

  1. God Bless you my Brother Zach. You were born to sing for Jesus. This song is for me. I can’t stop the tears – The song touch deep and reveals the mighty Love of Jesus. Keep ok on singing . I Pray the Holy Spirit gives you a new Spirit filled song each day. Thank you. Blessings!

  2. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES

    ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN? (CLICK 'READ MORE')

    There are some things that you should know:

    1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

    Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

    Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

    It all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain, which this world sees, is the result of sin.

    2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross:

    Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

    Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

    Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Lying, stealing, sex before marriage, pride, hatred, ect. are all sins. Hell is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already sinned, which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the President can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die. You won’t have to pay for your own sins because Jesus already did that for you. But if you reject the pardon that He offers, you will have to pay for your own sins by going to hell.

    3. If you will confess Jesus Christ as Your Lord, place your Faith in Him and Believe in your heart that He died, shed His blood and rose again as a sacrifice for your sins, you will be saved (from hell).

    Eph 2:8,9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

    Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

    You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus, believing in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins and placing your Faith in Him. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven, but your Faith must be in Christ and His sacrifice alone and nothing else, giving your life to Him.

    Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

    Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

    4. You must trust your life to Jesus Christ in Faith, believing in your heart that He died and rose again shedding His blood to pay for your sins as a sacrifice to God, Submitting your life to Him. If you want to accept Jesus free gift of salvation, or if you have any doubts about whether or not you are going to heaven, HUMBLY PRAY THIS PRAYER TO GOD FROM YOUR HEART IN FAITH:

    ”Dear Lord Jesus I believe that You are the Lord and believe in my heart that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead, shedding your blood as a Sacrifice for my sins. I repent and turn to You as the only way of salvation, I submit my life to you, placing my Faith and Trust in You as Lord of my life, Please save me and I thank You for it, in Jesus holy name, Amen.”

    If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven. Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism…

  3. The world ignored the genocide in rwanda .and 800000 people dies ..now the same is happening in Ethiopia…….lets show the sane effort we showing Lebanon …help me bring this to light …….christians are suffering lets pray for them…thanks you Amen

  4. I am 44 now and accepted my Jesus as Lord & saviour when I was in grade5. Was diagnosed with a brain issue over 5yrs ago and counting. I was not expected to live as long, or my memory to work this long….but whenever, wherever and however I was – there was, there is and here is Jesus Christ. I have never forgotten Him and pray He never forgets my family and you who believes in Him. Jesus is Lord.

  5. LOVE the lyrics of this song and am a TOTAL fan of Zack Williams' SOULFUL voice! He sings words my heart wants to express to God. This kind of worship awakens the Holy spirit in me, brings joy to my heart & tears to my eyes all at the same time!!! PROFOUND!!!
