† I've Never Seen the Righteous Forsaken †

Have you ever been hungry, when Jesus wouldn't feed you? Or, have you ever really needed Him, When it seemed like He just didn't really need you? Or, have you ever seen someone who's so down and out, That our Jesus didn't seem to care about? David said, "I've never seen the righteous forsaken, I have never seen the righteous forsaken, No, I've never seen the righteous forsaken, or God's seed beggin' for bread.

Now, you may feel down today, But look up your help is on the way Dark clouds may dim your skies, But He will answer you bye and bye. And I know, He'll guide the way through all your fears, I know He's been with me now for all these years. And I've never seen the righteous forsaken or God's seed a beggin' for bread.

Has He ever just passed you by, when you needed a Saviour? Or, Has He ever one time just ignored your cry, when you asked Him for a favor? Has my Lord ever once turned, just turned His back on you? No, when you need the Lord He'll see you through. I've never seen the righteous forsaken, or God's seed beggin' for bread.

Now, you may feel down today, But look up your help is on the way Those dark clouds may dim your skies, But He will answer you bye and bye. I know He will. He's blessed you once, He's gonna bless you twice. I know I've had His blessings for all my life. I've never seen the righteous forsaken, or God's seed beggin' for bread.

Now, you may feel down today, But look up your help is on the way Those dark clouds may dim your skies, But He will answer you bye and bye. I know He will. If you'll make one step, He'll make two. Well, you'll see it's no secret what the Lord can do. I've never seen the righteous forsaken, No, I've never seen the righteous forsaken, No, I've never seen the righteous forsaken, or my God's seed, they've never been beggin' for bread.
