Though at times life may knock me down to the ground
Life isn’t nearly as difficult as Satan would have me to believe…

Things are difficult because sometimes I get tired of getting
Up again and making the same mistakes repeatedly…

God lifts me up when I am down
He dusts’ me off and gives me a new hope…

Pure and clean I stand before our Lord
All washed white as snow once more

He gives me strength to press onward
So I speak softly in my mind
I tell myself: “he is with you”
Even when you cannot press on alone

His strength is my strength
His hope is my hope
In him I shall breathe
And be freed from a world
Of doubts and fears
In him I shall again stand firmly

He lifts me up when life lets me down
He sends more love than my heart can hold
He holds my hand when I am afraid of what
Is just up ahead
