When the life I built came crashing to the ground
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found
I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now
There was Jesus

In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, in the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I’ve been or where I’m going
Even when I didn’t know it
Or couldn’t see it
There was Jesus

The lyrics speak about the struggles that the singer has faced in his life. However, in every situation, he realized that there was Jesus, guiding him and giving him the strength to keep going. The song likens the presence of Jesus as “Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces”.

The lyrics describe Jesus as being present “on the mountains” and “in the valleys,” as well as “in the fire” and “in the flood,” suggesting that there is no situation too challenging for God to be present and offer comfort and guidance.

There was Jesus
On the mountains
In the valleys
There was Jesus
In the shadows
Of the alleys

There was Jesus
In the fire, in the flood
There was Jesus
Always is and always was, oh

No, I never walk alone
Never walk alone
You’re always there

The song, ‘There Was Jesus’ offers a message of hope and reassurance that, no matter what we face in life, we are never alone because God is always with us and encourages listeners to have faith and trust in God, even in the darkest moments.
