I Will Never Leave You
David Haas · With You By My Side 2 [2002]
Refrain: I will never leave you, I will not leave you orphaned;
I'll come back to you, Soon you will be with me,
and I'll be one with God,
and you in me, and I in you.
1. If you love me and keep my commands,
God will send you the breath of life, the bringer of truth.
2. You will know me if you keep my commands.
My Spirit I will give to be with you, throughout all time.
3. In a little while the world will no longer see me,
But you will see me; because I live, you too shall live.
I'll come back to you, Soon you will be with me,
and I'll be one with God,
and you in me, and I in you.
1. If you love me and keep my commands,
God will send you the breath of life, the bringer of truth.
2. You will know me if you keep my commands.
My Spirit I will give to be with you, throughout all time.
3. In a little while the world will no longer see me,
But you will see me; because I live, you too shall live.
