Have you ever been hungry and Jesus wouldn't feed you?
Have you ever needed Him and He just didn't need you?
Have you ever seen someone who was down and out
That our Jesus just didn't care about?
Well, I've you ever seen the righteous forsaken
I've you ever seen the righteous forsaken
No, I've you ever seen the righteous forsaken
Or God's seed begging for bread
Now, you may feel down today
But look up, your help is on the way
Dark clouds may dim your sky
But He will answer you by and by
He'll drive away all your fears
I know, he's been with me down through the years
Oh, I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or God's seed begging for bread
Has he ever passed you by, when you needed a savior?
Has he ever one time ignored your cry
When you asked him for a favor?
Has he ever once, turned his back on you?
No, when you need the Lord, He'll see you through
Oh, I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or God's seed begging for bread
Now, you may feel down today
But look up, your help is on the way
Dark clouds may dim your sky
But He'll answer you by and by
He's blessed you once, he'll bless you twice
I know, I've had His blessings for all of my life
Oh, I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or God's seed begging for bread
You may feel down today
But look up, your help is on the way
Dark clouds may dim your sky
But He'll answer you by and by
If you take one step, he'll take two
There is no secret what our Lord can do
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or God's seed begging for bread
