Matt Redman, “Never Once”

Matt Redman, “Never Once”

Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Matt Redman has come a long way since Heart of Worship. The now-classic worship track is still in use in churches all over the world, a humbling thing for any Christian songwriter. Never once to rest on his God-given laurels, though, Redman has returned with 10,000 Reasons, another fine collection of worship tracks guaranteed to make an impact on the universal church. The carrier single, Never Once, is already rising up the Radio and Records chart (it’s #16 with a bullet this week), and I can see why: an easily singable verse, a soaring, majestic chorus, and encouraging lyrics that just glorify the Name above all Names. I can totally see Never Once becoming another classic in the ever-growing, ever-relevant Redman catalog.

NEVER ONCE Lyrics
Matt Redman

Verse 1
Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Verse 2
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Is Your power in us

Pre-Chorus
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Chorus 1
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Repeat Verse 2
Repeat Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Bridge
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Ending Chorus
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
