Even Then

Years I spent so recklessly--not knowing Christ had died for me,
Caring not what was ahead--by Satan I was being led.
When I look back where I've been, dead in trespasses and sin,
I'm so thankful He was with me, even then.

Even then, God was with me, long before I knew His Son,
Even then He was with me when I was lost and undone.
When I look back o'er the years--many dangers--many fears.
I can say that He was with me, even then.

There's mistakes that I make, and for them I have to pay,
When His voice I do not hear, causing many needless tears.
Forgiveness is always there, when I kneel to Him in prayer.
It's good to know He is with me, even then.

Even then He is with me, when I stray from His will.
Even then He is with me, when His love I cannot feel.
When I try to go my way--not hearing what He has to say,
What joy to know He is with me, even then.
When my time down here is through and I've nothing more to do:
When Death comes knocking at my door and to Heaven I will soar,
I can close my eyes in peace--this war with sin will finally cease,
Oh, praise God, He'll be with me, even then.

Even then He'll be with me, when I have to cross that tide:
Even then He'll be with me as I reach the other side.
When it's time to say goodby, don't you worry, don't you sigh.
It thrills my soul that He'll be with me, even then.
