When I found no quiet time to spend with You

You still chose not to leave

You gave my heart a calm assurance

Even when I could not believe

So no matter how hard I tried to turn from You

Your tenderness made me stay

In spite of my foolish wanderings

Your guiding hands still pointed the way

Nevertheless You loved me

Nevertheless You stood by my side

When I hurled accusations

You didn't deserve

You gently reminded that for me You died

Nevertheless You claimed me

Nevertheless You caught all my tears

Your infinite patience never fails

No no no no no no

It's been a nevertheless love all these years

When I laid my bets You wouldn't come through

Felt abandoned and gave You the blame

Your constant forgiveness showed to me

That today and tomorrow

You're always the same

Lord I need to learn how to trust You more

For You're the one who truly knows best

When my unbelief starts to get in the way

You showed me that You'd be there

Never nevertheless

Nevertheless You loved me

Nevertheless You stood by my side

When I hurled accusations You didn't deserve

You gently reminded that for me You died

Nevertheless You claimed me

Nevertheless You caught all my tears

Your infinite patience never fails

It's been a nevertheless love all these years

It's been a nevertheless love all these years

Nevertheless love all these years

All these years
