VERSE 1
I was down but You lifted me
I was lost but You found me
I was weak but You strengthened me
Now my hands go up
Every door that was shut on me
You opened wide in front of me
I’m a living testimony
So I won’t be quiet

VERSE 2
I don’t look like what I’ve been through

What the enemy meant for evil
God turned around
Every promise still standing strong
Every word He spoke lives on
I’m alive and I know it’s true
So I praise Him loud

When there was no way
Lift your voice and say
Thank You, Lord!
