When I found no quiet time to spend with you You still chose not to leave You gave my heart a calm assurance Even when I could not believe So no matter how hard I tried to turn from you Your tenderness made me stay In spite of my foolish wanderings Your guiding hands still pointed the way Nevertheless you loved me nevertheless You stood by my side When I hurled accusations you didn't deserve You gently reminded that for me you died Nevertheless you claimed me nevertheless You caught all my tears Your infinite patience never fails No no no no no It's been a nevertheless love all these years When I laid my bets you wouldn't come through Felt abandoned and gave you the blame Your constant forgiveness showed to me That today and tomorrow you're always the same Lord I need to learn how to trust you more For you're the one who truly knows best When my unbelief starts to get in the way You showed me that you'd be there Never nevertheless Nevertheless you loved me nevertheless You stood by my side When I hurled accusations you didn't deserve You gently reminded that for me you died Nevertheless you claimed me nevertheless You caught all my tears Your infinite patience never fails It's been a nevertheless love all these years It's been a nevertheless love all these years Nevertheless love all these years All these years
