What a Savior
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.

What a Savior, what a Father,
What a God of tender grace.
