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
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 breaking
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!
But I've never 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 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 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 and 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
