He Was There All the Time

by Barbara Fairchild

Time after time I went searching for peace in some void 
I was trying to blame 
All my ills on this world I was in
Surface relationships used me 'til I was done in
And all of the while someone was begging To free me from sin 

He was there all the time
He was there all the time 
Waiting patiently in line 
He was there all the time

Never again Will I look for a fake rainbow's end 
Now that I have the answer My life is just starting to rhyme
Sharing each new day with Him Is a cup of fresh wine 
And oh what I missed, He's been waiting right there all the time 

He was there all the time
He was there all the time 
Waiting patiently in line 
He was there all the time
