[Jamie Grace:]
I was sinkin', I was swimmin'
I was wonderin' if You were here
I saw all the lights were flashing
Must be an emergency, dear
I don't even know if You hear me
I don't even know where You've gone
Sometimes when I close my eyes and wonder
I can't help but feel that I'm alone
I was callin' out to You and You said
"I'm right here, I'm right here
Oh, don't you know I'm here?"
No matter when I call, He tells me
"I'm right here, I'm right here
Oh, don't you know I'm here?"
No matter when I call, You tell me
"I'm right here"
[Morgan Harper Nichols:]
I was sinkin', I was swimmin'
I was wonderin' if You were here
It's gettin' dark and in my heart
All that I can feel is fear
You told me that You'd never ever leave me
And I know that You'd never ever lie
But sometimes when You're teachin' me to trust You
It's too hard to swallow all my pride
[Jamie Grace:]
See, I was callin' out to You and You said
"I'm right here, I'm right here
Oh, don't you know I'm here?"
No matter when I call, He tells me
"I'm right here, I'm right here
Oh, don't you know I'm here?"
No matter when I call, You tell me
"I'm right here"
Never gonna leave, no-no, no-no
Said You're never gonna leave me
(Never gonna leave me)
Never gonna leave, no-no, no-no
Said You're never gonna leave me
(Never gonna leave me)
Never gonna leave, no-no, no-no
Said You're never gonna leave me
(Never gonna leave me)
Never gonna leave, no-no, no-no
Said You're never gonna leave me
Never gonna leave me here...
Right here, You told me
"Don't you ever fear"
No matter when I call, He tells me
"I'm right here, right here
Oh, don't you know I'm here?"
No matter when I call, You tell me
"I'm right here"
[Jamie Grace & Morgan Harper Nichols:]
Never gonna leave, no
Said You're never gonna leave, no-no, no-no
Said You're never gonna leave me, no-o, no-o
