You gave me courage to believe
That all Your goodness I will see
(In the land of the living God)
And if it had not been for You
Standing on my side
Where would I be
If not for Your goodness
If not for Your grace
I don’t know where I would be today
If not for Your kindness
I never could say
I’m still standing
If not for Your mercy
If not for Your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favor
I never could say
I’m still standing
But by the grace of God
To You I lift my offering
And set my heart on higher things
(For if it had not been)
For if it had not been for You
Standing on my side
Where would I be
(Where would I be)
I’m still standing
I’m still standing
I’m still standing
But by the grace of God [x3]
…. and so goes the lyrics. A lot has happened: a lot of tears lost, a lot of pain in my heart, a lot of losing, a lot of giving up.
But I’m still here.
And this has nothing to do with me being a survivor or anything. I’m still standing because of his grace. Because of his love.
Because of the grace of God.
