Because Of You

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

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

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

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
