|
I've had my share of good and bad news |
|
I've had to cry when no one else knew |
|
Felt all alone like nobody could really understand |
|
But I heard you whisper a sweet melody |
|
Said give me your burdens, give them to me |
|
Today I stand, Lord, stronger and wiser because of you |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Because of you |
|
Because of you |
|
Because of your love and grace and mercy |
|
I've made it through |
|
And no I'm not perfect |
|
Sometimes I fall |
|
Yet, Lord, you've been there whenever I call |
|
And if anyone asks me how did I make it |
|
It's because of you |
|
[Verse 2:] |
|
Strong for my family I have to be |
|
But tell me who's strong, who's strong for me |
|
Who gives me strength and courage and wisdom to make it through? |
|
But there's not a friend, no not one |
|
None that can help you, not like the Son |
|
If anyone asks me how did I make it |
|
It's because of you |
|
Oh |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
It's because of you |
|
It's because of you |
|
Because of your love and grace and mercy |
|
I've made it through |
|
No I'm not perfect |
|
And sometimes I fall |
|
But yet, Lord, you've been there whenever I call |
|
If anyone asks me how did I make it |
|
If anyone asks me how did I, how did I go through |
|
If anyone asks me how did I make it |
|
If anyone asks me how did I go through |
|
If anyone asks me, Tamia, how did you do it? |
|
It's because of you |
