HBBC - Witness - "You Were There" 

This song sums up the last 5 years of my life

I decided to come back and listen to this song after not listening to it in a few years. I kind of attribute it to a tragedy that happened to a close friend back in 2014. It brought me a lot of comfort but it also kind of brings back a lot of emotion for me. The Lord always gives a song in the night. The interesting thing about this particular song (well, about the soloist) is that I stumbled upon Sarah Simon's (now Sarah LaVere) youtube channel as well as the Harmony Trio channel several years prior to this video coming out. I loved their videos and found sheet music for a lot of the songs they did so I could sing them with groups at my church. I was even pleasantly surprised to find we live in the same state! Fast forward to the fall of 2014. I already owned a few HBBC cds and was buying a few for a friend for her birthday. I decided I would buy myself the God Did It All cd. When I turned on this song, I recognized the soloists voice within seconds and rushed to confirm that I was right! I was so excited to kind of see where Sarah ended up after not seeing new youtube videos for awhile! What a blessing!

You sang this at our Church, Harvest Baptist Church, Mount Vernon, Washington. Our choir sang it Sunday, thanks for the inspiration! Such a true song about our Lord!

This is such an encouraging and beautiful song!

Glory to God!

I love thing song! Always cheers me up to hear it when In times of trouble. :)

I love this song! Makes me miss Sarah though... She is a very dear friend of mine from her home church! We sang together all the time when she was here!

You Were There Weary from the trials that it seemed I faced alone. Wondering why God left me here to struggle on my own. I thought of all the verses and the Scriptures I had read. How He promised to be with me, How He never would forsake me. So with all the faith within me, I cried out to God and said, 'You were there for Moses; you were there for Joseph; you were there for David when he didn't have a prayer. You were there for Stephen so I believe in time I'll see, That through it all, you were there for me. Oh there'll be days of silent suffering, when it seems that no one cares. Years may come and go, without an answer to my prayers. Oh but may I never question, your unfailing love for me. And like the saints who've gone before me, may my faith be one more story, of a life lived for your glory so that others will believe. 'You were there for Moses; you were there for Joseph; you were there for David when he didn't have a prayer. You were there for Stephen so I believe in time I'll see, That through it all, you were there for me. Like Paul and Silas, John and Peter, Daniel, Abraham, I will trust in you, and hold on to, that same unseen hand. I'm trusting to the unseen hand, that guides me thru this weary land 'You were there for Moses; you were there for Joseph; you were there for David when he didn't have a prayer. You were there for Stephen so I believe in time I'll see, through it all, you were there for me. through it all, you were there for me. You were there for me

AMEN !!!!

Praise God, great job. Do you have the sheet music (Piano) for this?

Can I ask who is the composer of this song???

Who originally wrote the song?

I'm glad I wasn't there wasting my time. Get out of there and spread the gospel to the lost. (Why the high ceiling? Were there giants in the land?)
