Lyrics
Even when I’m walking through the valley of dark shadows
Even when I’m overwhelmed beneath the weight of sorrow
Even when I can’t outrun my fears and every other hope has disappeared
I’m not alone, I’m not alone
I’ve still got Jesus, oh I’ve still got Jesus
Closer than a brother no matter where I am
When I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody’s on my side
He always steps in, I’ve always got a friend
You can take away all of thе things down here I treasurе (Oh)
You can leave me nothing but the breath inside my lungs
Still I know that I have everything (Oh)
I can lift my empty hands and sing
At the end of the day (Oh) with joy I can say (I can say)
I’ve still got Jesus, oh I’ve still got Jesus (I’ve still got Jesus)
Closer than a brother no matter where I am (No matter where I am)
When I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody’s on my side
He always steps in, I’ve always got a friend
Who’s standing at the ready
When this life gets too heavy
He’s there (He’s there)
He’s there (He’s there)
He’s there (Oh)
Friend who stood right where I’m standing
So no matter what I’m handed
He’s there, He’s there, He’s there
I’ve still got Jesus, oh I’ve still got Jesus
Closer than a brother no matter where I am (No matter where I am)
And when I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody’s on my side (Oh, I need You, Lord)
He always steps in, I’ve always got a friend
He always steps is, I’ve always got a friend
Always got a friend

About This Song
"I wanted to share my heart on why I wrote this song. I went through a season of loss and feeling like I was walking that part of my life all alone. I wrote this with my friends as a reminder to myself and all who have faced heartbreak that we're not alone and we have a savior and friend in Jesus. This song is a reminder to anyone who feels like they're walking through this life all alone. We have a savior and friend who understands who we are and He is with us through everything. You're not alone and you have a friend in Jesus." -Joel Vaughn
