Nevertheless

When I found no quiet time to spend with you
You still chose not to leave
You gave my heart a calm assurance
Even when I could not believe
So no matter how hard I tried to turn from you
Your tenderness made me stay
In spite of my foolish wanderings
Your guiding hands still pointed the way
Nevertheless you loved me nevertheless
You stood by my side
When I hurled accusations you didn’t deserve
You gently reminded that for me you died
Nevertheless you claimed me nevertheless
You caught all my tears
Your infinite patience never fails
No no no no no
It’s been a nevertheless love all these years
When I laid my bets you wouldn’t come through
Felt abandoned and gave you the blame
Your constant forgiveness showed to me
That today and tomorrow you’re always the same
Lord I need to learn how to trust you more
For you’re the one who truly knows best
When my unbelief starts to get in the way
You showed me that you’d be there
Never nevertheless
Nevertheless you loved me nevertheless
You stood by my side
When I hurled accusations you didn’t deserve
You gently reminded that for me you died
Nevertheless you claimed me nevertheless
You caught all my tears
Your infinite patience never fails
It’s been a nevertheless love all these years
It’s been a nevertheless love all these years
Nevertheless love all these years
All these years
