Always, by Building 429

It's hard to see the good when everything around you is crumbling down. The blindness that our temporary problems cause cloud the glory of our Saviour and everything He's given to us. Our hurt and anger can cause us to lose sight of the future that we have ahead of us. Maybe it's that our lives haven't changed in years. We seem to be enduring the same pain as before. There seems to be no escape from the put that we're in. No matter how hard we try, we can't make it past a certain point. We're tired and weary and want to know why we're still here.

Our lives were meant to be different. We have goals for ourselves, plans for a better future than the current place we're in. Yet, no matter what, it's not enough. We have things taken away from us for reasons we can't see. And we're left missing those tings dn wondering why this is happening to us. We're Christians, we have God on our side, but yet He feels so far away. We've tried hard to get ourselves away from the influences that bring us down, but find ourselves deeper than when we started. Nothing we do helps. So where is God in all of this?

This song talks about how no matter the situation you're in, God is always there. It talks about how this person believes that our Saviour never fails. We often forget to believe that there is a better plan for us and that God is always there to help us. He's shaping our paths. We may miss the things we've lost. We may feel angry at a person, but He is still always there for us.

Always: Building 429 (Album: Building 429)

I was standing in the pouring rain one dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold when she caught my eye
Her face was taut and her eyes were filled and to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph and my heart just stopped inside
She said, "He would have been three today. I miss his smile. I miss his face."
What was I supposed to say?

But I believe always, always
Our savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain
And His promise remains.
He will be with you always

He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace when I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt when his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears and the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way

'Cause I believe always, always
Our savior never fails.
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain
And His promise remains
He will be with you always

Friend, I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been.
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Just about to throw the towel in,
But if you 're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on
Hold on
Hold on

'Cause I believe always, always
Our savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain
And His promise remains
Always. always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you
