Never No Never

I've seen God's people pray

By a hospital bed

I've seen them struggling

For their daily bread

Seen 'em standing at the grave

Of one who left us too young

And I've heard them crying out

For their wayward son

But I've never no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

I've seen 'em with tears in their eyes

Seen 'em with their hearts breakin'

I've seen them tested and tried

Seen 'em with their faith shaken

But I've never no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

Seen 'em when it seemed like

There was no help in sight

Seen 'em when it seemed that life

Was nothing but night

But in the eyes of Heaven

Something else was going on

They may have been all by themselves

But they were never alone

No, I've never no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

I've seen 'em with tears in their eyes

Seen 'em with their hearts breakin'

I've seen them tested and tried

Seen 'em with their faith shaken

But I've never no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

Never no never

Has He ever failed us

Never no never

Has He ever left us

No, no, no

I've never no, no, no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

I've seen 'em with tears in their eyes

Seen 'em with their hearts breaking

I've seen them tested, seen them tried

Seem 'em with their faith shaken

But I've never no never

I've never no never

No, I've never no never

Seen the righteous forsaken

Never no never, ooh...
