Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we've come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we'll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Your are, You are faithful, God, You are faithful
The song "Never Once" by Steffany Gretzinger expresses a profound acknowledgment of God's constant presence and faithfulness in every step of life's journey. It reflects on the struggles and battles faced along the way but highlights that through every situation, God has never left us alone. It's an affirmation of God's unwavering support and the victories achieved through His power.
In the opening lines, "Standing on this mountaintop / Looking just how far we've come," the song starts with a moment of reflection on the journey so far, recognizing God's guidance throughout. The imagery of a battleground in the verses, "Kneeling on this battleground / Seeing just how much You've done," symbolizes life's challenges and the acknowledgment of victories won not by our strength but through God's intervention.
The chorus, "Never once did we ever walk alone / Never once did You leave us on our own," is a powerful declaration of God's faithful presence. It reassures the listener of God's constant companionship and support, even in the midst of difficulties.
The lines, "Scars and struggles on the way / But with joy our hearts can say," acknowledge that despite the hardships and scars life may bring, there's a deep-seated joy from knowing God is with us, which allows us to proclaim His faithfulness.
The song closely relates to several Bible verses that affirm God's presence and faithfulness, including:
These verses reinforce the song's message of God's never-failing presence and His commitment to be with His people every step of the way, just as the lyrics of "Never Once" capture.
