[B] _ _ _ _ The first single on the album is called Never [G#m] Once.
It's a song of God's faithfulness.
I
love writing songs about God's faithfulness.
It just seems to be [B] a theme that keeps popping
up.
I mean, you know, just looking back over my life.
[F#] Hard childhoods in some ways.
Lost
my dad 30 [B] years ago when I was 7 years old.
[F#] And even [D#] then I just knew such a measure of
God's faithfulness.
[B] And I can look on every chapter of my life since then and just see
the thread of God's faithfulness running through.
And I know [E] that's the same for so many people.
That you just look back and [F] think, I didn't even get it at the time that you were so faithful.
This song [B] actually started out, _ we'd [E] been living in Atlanta for two years and it'd been
a great adventure.
[B] We're now moving back to England.
In a time of transition, [G#] just a time
of trying to process all [B] that's going on.
You know, what does [G#m] the future hold now?
These
are things to be thankful for that God's done here.
But this is a little uncomfortable,
you know, [B] transition.
Moving across the ocean, you know, it's busy, it's crazy.
[G#m] And so I'm
standing [F#] there, my family have gone [B] and it's the empty house.
And [G#m] no furniture even in
[F#] it, just a big old echoey house.
I've got my guitar and I just start to [E] sing out about
God's faithfulness.
Standing on this mountain top, looking [F] back at all you've done.
Knowing
that for every step [B] you were with me.
You know, I'm kneeling on this battlefield, seeing
all the [F#] victories won, knowing that anything good that ever happened was your [E] power in
me, it's you Lord.
And then the chorus goes [F#] on to say, never _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ once _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ did we ever walk alone.
[G#m] _ Never once did you leave us on our own.
[B] _ You are faithful, [G#m] God, [F#] you are faithful.
[B] _ Every step_
And [F#] I hope this song will inject some hope [B] into people who need to hear that.
[G#m] You know,
there's so much struggle, people go through so many different types of turmoil.
But those
with their [B] feet on solid ground, in other words, Jesus Christ, you can [G#m] take very, very
great hope [F#] in the fact that he has not left you.
Even [B] in the moments where you can't quite
figure it all out, there's confusion setting in, there's like [F#] a [B] cloud over you and you
can't figure it out.
There's [F#] that hope burning deep inside that [B] God said he's never going
to leave me or forsake [G#m] me.
And that's been my [C#] experience.
And I hope this [B] song is infused
with truth, but also I know it's [G#m] written out of experience.
Of [F#] walking for [B] a couple of
decades of life, knowing that God is very, very, [G#m] very faithful.
