I Will Survive

Looking ahead is just a little bit easier

When you look at where you've been

I can believe that we can move mountains

For You've carried me through every valley I knew

If it wasn't for You, I don't know where I'd be

I just know that for me, I can rest in Your promise of love

I will survive

I am alive

I stand beside the crucified One

I can go on

I will be strong

For my strength to live is not my own

I will survive

Sometimes it seems the pain of life will take over me

And I fear I'll lose again

But I realize to fight to the finish

That I'll just lean on You and that You'll pull me through

And the battle is already won

I will survive

I am alive

I stand beside the crucified One

I can go on

I will be strong

For my strength to live is not my own

I will survive

I am alive

And with Your love to guide me, I know

That the past is far behind me

And Your Spirit now reminds me

Through the changes in my life

I will survive

Just like the lily in winter's snow

Waiting for spring

I face the darkness so cold and alone

Looking for light

Wanting to grow, waiting to sing

I want to sing

I will survive

I am alive

I stand beside the crucified One

I can go on

I will be strong

For my strength to live is not my own

I will survive

I will survive

I will survive
