[Verse 1]
We were counting every bill at the table
Stretching one loaf
Making it last
Mama laughed
Said
“Baby
We are able
‘Cause grace been running ahead of our past”
We had doctors
Late calls
Slammed doors
Tired eyes
Sleeping in chairs
But every night you held us together
One more breath
One more answered prayer
[Chorus]
God
You brought us through everything
Every tear
Every hard year
Every valley we were in
You were steady in the storm
When we had nothing left to bring
God
You blessed me with this family
And You brought us through everything
[Verse 2]
We had birthdays in the backyard
Paper plates
Hand-me-down shoes on our feet
Still we danced like we owned the whole city
‘Cause love made the small things sweet
We’ve seen funerals
New babies
Fresh starts
Hugs that said what words can’t say
And somehow
Even when the ground shook
You held our little house in place
[Chorus]
God
You brought us through everything
Every tear
Every hard year
Every valley we were in
You were steady in the storm
When we had nothing left to bring
God
You blessed me with this family
And You brought us through everything
[Bridge]
From the first cry to the last light
You’ve been faithful
You’ve been kind (oh, so kind)
If I lose all but keep them close
I still got treasure in this life
[Chorus]
God
You brought us through everything
Every tear
Every hard year
Every valley we were in
You were steady in the storm
When we had nothing left to bring
God
You blessed me with this family
And You brought us through everything
[Outro]
You blessed me with this family
And You brought us through everything
