I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger’s snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb
'Cause You were there
You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So haven’t I learned that my ways
Aren’t as high as Yours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath
You were there, You were there
During history’s darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David’s swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God
You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God
Songtekstvertaling
Ik vraag me af hoe het voelde.
Toen David tegenover Goliath stond op een heuvel
Ik kan me voorstellen dat hij met al zijn macht schudde.
Totdat je zijn hand vasthield.
Want je was daar, je was daar.
Midden in de val van gevaar
Je was er altijd.
Je was erbij toen het moeilijkste gevecht
Leek zo buiten bereik
Je was er altijd.
Je was er altijd.
Dus daar stond hij op die heuvel
Abraham met mes in de hand was klaar om te doden.
Maar God in al zijn soevereiniteit had grotere plannen
En net op tijd, bracht je een lam
Omdat je daar was.
Je was erbij.
In het midden van de onduidelijke
Je was er altijd.
Je was erbij toen je gehoorzaamheid kreeg.
Leek niet logisch.
Je was er, je was er altijd.
Je was er altijd.
Dus heb ik niet geleerd dat mijn manieren
Zijn niet zo hoog als de jouwe.
En jij alleen houdt het universum
Van het afbrokkelen tot stof
U bent God en hoewel wij
Ik heb je niet begrepen.
Daar was je.
Zonder schuld aan een kruis hangen
Je sterft liever dan ons in het donker achter te laten.
Elk moment, elk gepland toeval
Het is allemaal logisch.
Met je laatste adem
Je was daar, je was daar.
Tijdens het donkerste uur van de geschiedenis
Je was er altijd.
Jij was de overwinnaar en de koning.
Jij was de kracht in Davids swing.
Jij was de kalmte in Abraham.
Jij bent de God die begrijpt
Jij bent de kracht als we er geen hebben.
Jij bent de levende, heilige
Dat was je, dat ben je en dat zul je altijd zijn.
Het Verrezen Lam Gods
Dat was je, dat ben je en dat zul je altijd zijn.
Het Verrezen Lam Gods
