Things change, plans fail.

You look for love on a grander scale.

Storms rise, hopes fade

and you place your bets on another day.

When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,

when you're just not sure enough.



Jesus will still be there.

His love will never change,

Sure as a steady rain,

Jesus will still be there.

When no one else is true,

He'll still be lovin' you.

When it looks like you've lost it all

And you haven't got a prayer,

Jesus will still be there.



Time flies, hearts turn,

a little bit wiser from lessons learned.

But sometimes weakness wins

and you lose your foothold once again.

When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,

when you're just not sure enough.



Jesus will still be there.

His love will never change,

Sure as a steady rain,

Jesus will still be there.

When no one else is true,

He'll still be lovin' you.

When it looks like you've lost it all

And you haven't got a prayer,

Jesus will still be there.
