Here is a new song that caught my attention from album "10,000 Reasons" by Matt Redman and I actually introduced to our congregation last week. According to Matt Redman, this song was born out of transition leaving America and going back to England praising God's faithfulness. I am curious to know the story behind the word "scars". He does not really get into explaining the meaning behind it but I imagine it could mean two things; scars from sptirtual battle, more in physical sense, or emotional ones caused by broken relationships. Here is the story behind the song. Whichever it means, this song powerfully ilustarates God's faithfulness and makes me to sing about it more.
Verse 1 Standing on this mountaintop Looking just how far we've come Knowing that for every step You were with us
Verse 2 Kneeling on this battle ground Seeing just how much You've done Knowing every victory Is Your power in us
Pre-Chorus Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Yes, our hearts can say
Chorus 1 Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did you leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Repeat Verse 2 Repeat Pre-Chorus
Chorus 2 Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did you leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Bridge Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Never once did we ever walk alone Carried by Your constant grace Held within Your perfect peace Never once, no, we never walk alone
Ending Chorus Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did you leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace Evermore we'll be breathing out Your prase You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful
