If it weren't for the hand of God to guard me
When the enemy wanted to destroy me
Surely I wouldn't have endured to get here
It was crying that many times I sang
It was praying that many times I cried out
Worshiping God was the refuge I found

It's hard to see purpose in pain
It's hard to live what we sang
It's not easy to generate testimony
It's hard to go on when you want to stop
It's hard when God asks and we have to give
It's not easy to be chosen
It's not easy to generate testimony

But it always was
The hand of God that guided me
It always was
The voice of God that calmed me
It always was
In my life everyone knows
It always was

It always was
The hug that consoled me
It always was
The strength that held me
It always was
In my life everyone knows
It always was

And it won't be different now
The God who always was
Is the God who is in my story

I know it's hard to see purpose in pain
It's hard to live what we sang
It's not easy to generate testimony
It's hard to go on when you want to stop
It's hard when God asks and we have to give
It's not easy to be chosen
It's not easy to generate testimony, oh-oh

But it always was
The hand of God that guided me
It always was
The voice of God that calmed me
It always was
In my life everyone knows
It always was

It always was
The hug that consoled me
It always was
The strength that held me
It always was
In my life everyone knows
It always was

But it always was
The hand of God that guided you
It always was
The voice of God that calmed you
It always was
In your life you know
It always was

It always was
The hug that consoled you
It always was
The strength that held you
It always was
In your life you know
It always was

It won't be different now
The God who always was
Is the God who is God in your story
It won't be different now
The God who always was
Is the God who writes your story

It always was
