He's Never Failed Me Yet

When I was a child, I did childish things

My life was church and all it brings

I'd always hear the old folks sing

He's never failed me yet

I heard this phrase and I trusted so

That one day I would come to know

The truth in which these words do hold

He's never failed me yet

With years of life came test and trial

And nights when tears replaced the smile

Though God was right there all the while

My soul was not at rest

But I lived to tell that I made it through

So instead of singing 'bout the blues

I bring you news to encourage you

He's never failed me yet

When clouds and the valleys come

Set your eyes on the Risen Son

Pray the eyes of your heart be filled with love

And watch the blessed day break the night

Like the three Hebrew boys that day

Oh, forced to take their fate to flames

I, too, have had the choice to break

And serve the world instead

But I stood on the Word and did not bow

Endured the steps the Lord allowed

I came out stronger shouting, wow

God's never failed me yet

God is not like men who lie

Nor like the son of men who die

His truth will always be alive

It never will be dead

So try Him for yourself and see

Those who believe, they shall receive

I pray that day, you too can see

He's never failed me yet

I'm grateful for those simple words

That I so often overheard

Though many memories drift like birds

Some still I can't forget

They come back ringing right on time

Like bells so heavenly, they chime

That old-time phrase, now mine-oh-mine

He's never failed me yet

Tried Him time after time

He never failed me yet

Oh-oh, oh Lord (He's never failed me yet)

Can you help me? (He's never failed me yet)

Oh-ooh, He's never failed (He's never failed me yet)

Oh, He's never failed me yet
