Analysis of Never Alone
Nancy McDonald 1968 (Blytheville, Arkansas)
You never are alone
For God is always there
A true friend a confident
Your burdens He will share
God is a comforter in all areas
He will right each and every wrong
Nothing comes as a surprise to Him
For He knew the answers all along
God stands beside us each morning
Walks with us throughout the day
Watches over us at night while we sleep
And listens to us when we pray
The joy that awaits us
We can not even begin to contemplate
But we will understand it once and for all
When we enter those Pearly Gates
