(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
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
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
