I wish I could take away the pain
And pick up the shattered pieces
I wish I could say it’ll be okay
But I don’t have all the answers
I just know He is close to the broken hearted
I just know He is close to the broken hearted
Forever and always
He’ll never leave your side
Forever and always
He’ll lead you through the hardest times
Don’t give up, you can know
Everywhere that you go
He is with you
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
He is with you
Whoa, whoa
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
I wish I could walk this road for you
And carry the weight You shouldered
‘Cause I am simply lost for words
In silence I will share Your hurt
I just know He is close to the broken hearted
I just know He is close to the broken hearted
Forever and always
He’ll never leave your side
Forever and always
He’ll lead you through the hardest times
Don’t give up, you can know
Everywhere that you go
He is with you
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
He is with you
Whoa, whoa
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
For every moment of your life
Through every smile and tear you cry
Even when your heart will break
When it feels like more than you can take
Through every single sleepless night
And every battle that you fight
From now until the end of time
Forever and always, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always
He is with you
Don’t give up, you can know
Everywhere that you go
He is with you
Forever and always, forever and always
Whoa, whoa
He is with you
Whoa, whoa
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
He is with you
Forever and always
Whoa, whoa
He is with you
Forever and always
