[Verse 1:]
|
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
|
