Leanin’ On Him by Life's Lessons

Grew up fast, went to work with my hands
Steel and sweat just part of the plan
One wrong day, one hard hit
Shook my mind, couldn’t outrun it
Doctors talkin’, white coats and charts
Tryin’ to put names on a broken heart

I been leanin’ on God when the nights get long
When the world feels heavy and the days go wrong
Through the anger, the fear, the why-me pain
When nothin’ makes sense but I still pray
I ain’t strong enough, but He always is
That’s how I stand, that’s how I live
I’m still here, still hangin’ on
Every step of the way, I’m leanin’ on Him

Confusion sets in, temper flares
Felt ashamed of the things I’d share
Seizures comin’ like a thief in the dark
Left me scared, left their mark
But even then when I lost my ground
I felt His hand when I was down

I been leanin’ on God through the shaking days
Through the embarrassed tears I don’t always say
When my mind won’t rest and my body’s weak
When words fail and all I can do is breathe
I ain’t perfect, never been
But He don’t quit, He won’t give in
I’m still here, still hangin’ on
Every step of the way, I’m leanin’ on Him

Now cancer’s knockin’ on my door
More pills, more prayers than ever before
Frustration builds, I lose my cool
Say things I don’t mean to the ones I love too
This pain moves fast inside my brain
But His love’s stronger, don’t ever change

I don’t know what tomorrow holds
Some days I’m brave, some days I fold
I question if my strength will last
But grace ain’t measured by my past

So I’m leanin’ on God just to make it through
One sunrise, one breath, one truth
If the future’s clear or hidden in doubt
I’ll trust His plan, I’ll work it out
And when I’m gone, don’t remember the pain
Remember the love I tried to give away
That’s my prayer when the roll’s called in
I lived my life leanin’ on Him

Yeah the hurt was real, but so was the grace
And God never once walked away
