[Verse 1]
Been fightin' this hill for a long, long time
Knuckles all bloody from slippin' the climb
Talk like a tough man, cry when I pray
Lord, if I fall here, will You show me the way
[Chorus]
If I lose this battle
If I lose my way
Could I find my way back through my faith
Oh Lord, make my pain
And heartache go away
If I lose this battle
Hold me anyway
[Verse 2]
Mama said grace over burned-up meals
Daddy found peace when the bottle was sealed
I got my shadows that follow each day
Lord, if I stumble, won’t You light up my faith
[Chorus]
If I lose this battle
If I lose my way
Could I find my way back through my faith
Oh Lord, make my pain
And heartache go away
If I lose this battle
Hold me anyway
[Bridge]
Take these scars
Turn ’em into a song (oh Lord)
If I’m too weak
Be the strength in my bones
When I can’t stand
Won’t You carry me home
[Chorus]
If I lose this battle
If I lose my way
Could I find my way back through my faith
Oh Lord, make my pain
And heartache go away
If I lose this battle
Hold me anyway
[Chorus]
If I lose this battle
If I lose my way
I will find my way back through my faith
Oh Lord, take my pain
And heartache here today
If I lose this battle
Still Your child, I’ll stay
