He Was There All the Time
=========================
w&m: Gary S. Paxton, 1975

[Verse 1]
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.

[Refrain]
He was there all the time.
He was there all the time,
Waiting patiently in line.
He was there all the time.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Refrain]

"The Master's Men" CD]


He Was There All the Time
=========================

Time after time
I was 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.
But all the time someone was waiting,
To free me from my 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,
For my life is just starting to mend.
And living each new day with Him,
Is a breath of fresh life.
And oh what I missed,
He was there patiently waiting in line.

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

He was there all the time.
