I've seen the lightning flashing

E688
1
I've seen the lightning flashing,
  And heard the thunder roll;
I've felt sin's breakers dashing,
  Trying to conquer my soul;
I've heard the voice of Jesus,
  Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.
 
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
    Never to leave me alone.
2
The world's fierce winds are blowing,
  Temptations are sharp and keen;
I feel a peace in knowing
  My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger,
  When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.
3
When in affliction's valley,
  I'm treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
  My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet entangled with briars,
  Ready to cast me down;
My Savior whispered His promise,
  Never to leave me alone.
4
He died for me on the mountain,
  For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
  The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
  Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

I'm one of ten children, and at the present moment I'm traveling the country with a family from our church. This is the first time I've ever been away from my family for a long period of time, and I cry every morning and night. But singing this song helped bunches!

Thank you. This song means so much to me. It was the first song I heard when I was on the plane coming back from my dad's funeral. I was alone.
