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 light And watch the blessed day break the night Like the three Hebrew boys that day Ooh, 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 say "He's never failed me yet" Can you help me? He's never failed me yet He's never failed me yet 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" (He's never failed me yet) (He's never failed me yet)
