Not for a Moment Andrews, Sooter & Fieldes; John Adams, arr. You were reaching through the storm, walking on the water, even when I could not see.

And every step, every breath, you are there; every tear, every cry, every prayer. In my hurt, at my worst, when my world falls down, not for a moment will You forsake me. Even in the dark, even when it's hard, You will never leave me, after all.
