Never Left Me Out

[Intro]
When the world shut the door, You made a way,
When I felt unseen, You called my name.
Even in my doubt, when I couldn’t see,
Your love never left, it kept chasing me.

[Verse 1]
I was running on empty, didn’t know my worth,
Felt like I was lost in the middle of the earth.
People turned their backs, but You stayed close,
You saw every tear when I needed You most.
They said I didn’t matter, tried to push me aside,
But You wrote my name in the heavens so wide.
When I thought I was forgotten, left in the cold,
Your love came through, and it never grows old.

[Chorus]
You never left me out, never left me behind,
You were there in the shadows, always on time.
When the world said no, You said, “You’re mine.”
Lord, You never left me out, You’ve been my lifeline.

[Bridge]
You’re the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine,
To find the one who’s lost, and that one was mine.
No matter the distance, no matter the cost,
You remind me in You, I’m never lost.
Your love is relentless, it keeps pouring out,
You’re the reason I’m standing, there’s no doubt.

[Chorus]
You never left me out, never left me behind,
You were there in the shadows, always on time.
When the world said no, You said, “You’re mine.”
Lord, You never left me out, You’ve been my lifeline.

[Outro]
Now I walk in Your promise, I stand in Your grace,
No more fear, no more shame, I’ve found my place.
You never left me out, and I’ll sing it loud,
I’m redeemed, I’m restored, I’m Your child now.
