Lyrics to “There for You” by Roger Tomhave, Claudia Carawan, & Melinda Wood Allen:
If God had hands, there’d only be one on your shoulder.If God could speak, the words would bless everything you do.
Take my hand, I’ll stand beside you. Together we’ll make it through.
Take my love, now and always, I will be there for you.
If God has ears, they’d listen to what you’re saying.
If God has eyes, they’d see the wonder that is you.
If God had legs, they’d go with you on your journey,
But God has me and I’ll be there for you.
