(Verse 1) One more encounter, one more chance To give it my all…go the distance I’ve heard pride comes before the fall I need some help to get through it all I want my life to be turned around I can’t do it alone, or that’s what I’ve found (Pre-Chorus) When my strength is runnin’ dry, I finally lift my eyes. (Chorus) Because You never gave up on me Because Your mercy reached where I couldn’t see Because You bore the cross, I couldn’t bear Because I found forgiveness waitin’ there Because Your love never let me go Because I’m blessed more than I know Today I stand where grace has led… I’m alive Because You bled Yeah, Because You live…I can look ahead (Verse 2) Now I spend my time focused on today Seeking to strengthen this vessel of clay You provide the answers for my weary mind And instill the peace I was tryna find One step of faith is all it took For You to rewrite the chapters of my book (Pre-Chorus) You met me where my hope had died, And breathed new life inside. (Chorus) Because You never gave up on me Because Your mercy reached where I couldn’t see Because You bore the cross, I couldn’t bear Because I found forgiveness waitin’ there Because Your love never let me go Because I’m blessed more than I know Today I stand where grace has led… I’m alive Because You bled Yeah, Because You live…I can look ahead (Bridge) [Lift with Emphasis] Not because I've earned Your grace, Not because it’s just a phase Not because I'm strong enough, Only because of Your endless love. You sought me out, called me Your own, And replaced my heart of stone. (Final Chorus) Because the tomb’s still empty and redemption’s free Because Your Holy Spirit’s alive in me Because You reign on heaven’s throne Because You’re comin’ back to claim Your own Today I stand to praise The King… My Lord, my God, my everything Because of the everlasting life You give… Glory to Jesus…Because You live.
