This week’s featured song story comes to us from Unspoken. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “You’ve Always Been.”
“One of the things we have to do as believers is constantly look to the past to see where God has come through to give us hope for the future. I find myself so frustrated at times cause I’m praying for victory over anxiety, for breakthrough here, for my kids, for my ministry, for all these different things and what I realized in the end is God doesn’t give me every prayer I ever prayed or asked for. He doesn’t always answer it the way I thought He should or I asked Him to, but what I did realize is that He continues to open the door to Himself and shows me that He’s everything that I’ve ever needed.” – Chad Mattson (Unspoken)

Reason – Unspoken
Verse 1:
I’ve had good days, I’ve had bad days, tasted victory in defeat
I’ve had problems, big as planets turn to pebbles when You speak
I’ve had nothing to my name, never lacked for anything
‘Cause You were there with me
Chorus:
You’ve been my Savior, Sustainer, when I’m at my end
My Healer, Redeemer, again and again
My Mother and my Father, Brother, Sister, and Friend
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been
Verse 2:
When I stand before You guilty, oh, Your mercy bears my blame
When in pride I think I’m worthy, You point out the price You paid
When I wander far away, You keep calling out my name
You don’t give up on me
Chorus:
You’ve been my Savior, Sustainer, when I’m at my end
My Healer, Redeemer, again and again
My Mother and my Father, Brother, Sister, and Friend
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been
Bridge:
You are my strength, my rock, Jesus
You are my hope, my song, Jesus
Before my heart knows what to pray
You’ve already made a way, Jesus
Chorus:
You’ve been my Savior, Sustainer, when I’m at my end
My Healer, Redeemer, again and again
My Mother and my Father, Brother, Sister, and Friend
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been (×2)
Outro:
Everything I’ve needed Lord, You’ve always been
Oh, Yes, You have
Thank You, Jesus, yes
You’ve always been
