Never Alone

Never alone is the theme I choose

Never alone is the fact,

Never alone is my experience

Jesus has my back.

Never alone is not a feeling

Never alone, in him I trust,

I dare to walk in the Holy Spirit

And trust my Saviour, Jesus.

His words reverberate in my ears,

“Lo, I am with you alway.”

In my simple way of understanding

That means each and every day.

Faithful is he that promises

Never to leave or forsake me

And he not only has the power

But he is faithful and trustworthy.

Never alone means he is with me

Every step of the way,

Not only with me but also in me

Was his promised on that day.

Then he dwelt with his disciples

But promised to be in them,

That became an historic fact

As the writer of the Acts did pen.

On the day of Pentecost

The Holy Spirit came as promised

And the disciples in the upper room

Became the first upon his list.

Being filled with the Holy Ghost

They began to speak in tongues

And many witnessed this event

As they came from all around.

That was just the beginning

Of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit,

Today for all the born again

This is the standard habit.

  

So when it seems no one is around

I am never alone,

Jesus lives within me

He never leaves me on my own.

When I call and no one hears

I am never alone,

Jesus hears and answers me

He understands my every groan.

When the devil comes to tempt me

I am never alone,

Jesus my Lord is with me

Wherever I may roam.

When my friends forsake and flee

I am never alone,

Jesus I can always call

And I don’t need a cellular phone.

When Satan questions my status

I am never alone,

Jesus is there to remind me

That in him my sins are atoned.

So that when death beckons

And the grave looms large

Even then I will not be alone

For Jesus my Saviour is in charge.

Never alone is the beautiful hymn

Jesus is with and in me,

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit:

In me dwells the Trinity.
