The inspiration of this song actually came from the intention of writing a song for a dear friend who was getting married! (You both know who you are!) Then I realised that life has so many checkpoints, and at each new phase in life there’s always fear and reminiscence. At many of the different ‘new phases’ of my life, I have found encouragement in this song. It speaks to encourage and remind people that God will never leave us through every journey in life. The bridge is based on my favourite ‘birthday verse’, Jeremiah 29:11. So, Bon Voyage on whatever journey you’re about to take, my friend!
lyrics
Friend, you’ve come a long journey
Don’t be tired out
This road, you’ll never walk alone
All throughout this life
We’ve been living, a-breathing, seeking this light
I know, that He won’t let you down
And know, when you’re weak He’ll make you stronger
Cos He’s done it all
Look at where you’re standing now
Remember all the times you’ve fought, the times you’d fall
If through it all you’ve forgotten what it means, just don’t forget this
Never has He left you
Never will He leave you, at all
Hey, it’s another turning
Awaiting another, another beginning
Now, life is full of memories
Now, you’re starting once again
Look at where you’re standing now
Remember all the times you’ve fought, the times you’d fall
If through it all you’ve forgotten what it means, just don’t forget this
Never has He left you
Never will He leave you, at all
For He knows the plans He has for you
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you
So give it up your inhibitions, and hold
To the promises of the Lord we know
Look at where you’re standing now
Remember all the times you’ve fought, the times you’d fall
If through it all you’ve forgotten what it means, just don’t forget this
Never has He left you
Never will He leave you, at all
Never has He left you
Never will He leave you, at all
