The Strength You Gave Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When the morning found me weary And the road was hard to see I felt a quiet strength beside me Like a hand steadying me Through the days I thought would break me Through the nights I couldn’t name You kept calling me toward mercy And I rose to walk again [Pre-Chorus] Every breath became a promise Every step, a little more [Chorus] The strength You gave me carries me When my own heart can’t find its feet You lift my eyes, You help me stand And place tomorrow in my hands I’m still here, still learning to believe The strength You gave me carries me [Verse 2] I have seen the fear grow smaller I have watched the dawn arrive Found a courage I’d forgotten Found a reason to survive When the weight came down around me You were nearer than my pain Now I meet the day with open hands And trust You once again [Pre-Chorus] Every breath became a promise Every step, a little more [Chorus] The strength You gave me carries me When my own heart can’t find its feet You lift my eyes, You help me stand And place tomorrow in my hands I’m still here, still learning to believe The strength You gave me carries me [Bridge] Not by my will alone Not by the road made clear You stayed when I felt far from home And taught my heart to persevere So when the next hard season comes I’ll face it knowing this is true The strength that brought me through the last Will carry me with You [Final Chorus] The strength You gave me carries me When my own heart can’t find its feet You lift my eyes, You help me stand And place tomorrow in my hands I’m still here, with hope enough to believe The strength You gave me carries me The strength You gave me carries me [Outro] You carried me You carry me
