Oh, I know you may get weary
And the times they may get rough
You may not have all you want
But you'll always have enough
And when your darkest hour comes
Just remember what I said
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or their seed begging for bread

Oh, I know it seems so hopeless
And you don't know what to pray
You've done all you know to do
And it seems there's just no way
And when you feel you're at the end
Just remember what I said
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or their seed begging for bread

I've never seen God's people
With a need that He could not meet
I know that He cares for His own
And His promises He'll keep

So just hold on a little longer
The answer's soon to come
The endless waiting's almost over
The victory's almost won
And when again you feel His joy
You'll remember what I said
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or their seed begging for bread
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
Or their seed begging for bread
