Lyrics
Verse 1
Speak Lord cause I don't know what to do
Speak Lord take away the pain I'm going through
Speak Lord cause I feel like I gave up on life
I know that Your word is all I need Lord
To give me strength to survive
Pre-Chorus
I'm desperate for You
I'm thirsting for You
I depend on only You
To tell me what just to do
And I lift up my eyes to focus on You
Cause I know with You all things are possible
I feel safe when I am in Your hands
Chorus
I'm never alone when You're with me
I'm never alone
I'm never alone cause You will protect me
You are my savior
You are my healer
You are my defense
I will trust You
Bridge
You are my shelter
You are my strength
With You all things are possible

Meaning & Inspiration
I'm Never Alone is a prayer for strength in a time of despair that ends in confidence. The opening lines ask the Lord to speak when the singer does not know what to do, wants the pain taken away and feels like giving up on life, and they state that God's word is all that is needed to survive.
The pre-chorus expresses desperation and thirst for God and the decision to depend on Him alone, with eyes lifted in focus and the belief that with Him all things are possible. The chorus then declares that the singer is never alone because God protects, and it names Him savior, healer and defense. These themes echo Psalm 46:1, Psalm 63:1, Matthew 19:26 and Hebrews 13:5. The movement from honest pain to trust, with simple repeated statements, makes the song easy to join in times of hardship.
