___________________________

Several years ago, while Joey and I were attending Southern Adventist University, the quartet was asked to sing "Jesus Never Fails" for an upcoming event on campus. We agreed to sing the song even though we didn't have an arrangement, thinking it would be easy to come up with something. However, it ended up being a difficult song, not only to arrange, but also to sing. We hadn't intended on singing it after we learned it for the event, but it turned out so well that we still sing it after almost 10 years. - Phillip

So many souls have tested Him throughout the course of time
So many still reach out to Him with broken hearts and minds
And everyone of them will say with no exception that they find
Jesus never fails

Even in the days of old, He brought His people through
And then He came to show His love when He died for me and you
And then He rose again to prove that every story had been true
Jesus never fails

(Chorus)
Jesus never fails
Jesus never fails
You might as well get thee behind me Satan, you cannot prevail
Because Jesus never fails

Sometimes this world brings troubles that I find so hard to bear
I know I could not make it without Jesus being there
It's so encouraging to know however deep we're in despair
That Jesus never fails

So what can I do to prove to you
Tell me how can you deny
No untold facts,
No mysteries, its all so cut and dry
On the witness stand of your life, I'll be the first to testify
That Jesus never fails

(Repeat Chorus to End)
