Lyrics

**Verse 1**

I was only a little thing,

Learning how to stand;

Didn’t know the road ahead,

Didn’t understand.

Didn’t know what I should do,

Didn’t know what to say;

So I reached up to my Father,

“Would You help me know the way?”

**Chorus**

And You heard me, You helped me,

You were nearer than I knew;

You led me, You kept me,

You were faithful, kind, and true.

When I could not see Your face,

You were never far away;

What a Savior, what a Father,

What a God of tender grace.

**Verse 2**

Then came trouble, then came strain,

Times were hard and tight;

Still I longed to bless my neighbor,

Still I wanted to do right.

So I asked You, if You would,

Lift the weight I could not bear;

And before I knew the answer,

You had met me there.

**Chorus**

And You heard me, You helped me,

You were nearer than I knew;

You led me, You kept me,

You were faithful, kind, and true.

When I could not see Your face,

You were never far away;

What a Savior, what a Father,

What a God of tender grace.

**Verse 3**

When I was tired, sick, and worn,

You gave my spirit rest;

When I was lonely, sad, and searching,

You drew me to Your breast.

When I could not seem to find You,

You did not leave me there;

You brought the lantern of Your love

And showed Your heart with care.

**Bridge**

You are kind, so kind,

Closer than my fear;

You are good, so good,

Faithful year by year.

I do not deserve Your mercy,

I cannot earn Your care;

But still You come, still You stay,

Still You meet me there.

**Verse 4**

Again and again You showed me

That You heard my smallest cry;

You gave direction, gave protection,

Gave me grace to lift my eyes.

You provided in the wanting,

You were light when my path was dark;

And the greatest gift You gave me

Was the chance to know Your heart.

**Final Chorus**

Oh, You heard me, You helped me,

You were nearer than I knew;

You led me, You kept me,

You were faithful, kind, and true.

When I could not see Your face,

You were never far away;

What a Savior, what a Father,

What a God of tender grace.

**Tag**

What a Savior, what a Father,

What a God of tender grace.
