paroles de chanson The Strength - Chris Black

Count the cost before you build
Set your eyes upon the prize that you seek
God will help you climb that hill
Don't forget the Lord when you reach the peak
I was down and I was out
Nothing left to give you but these words in my heart
You picked me up right off the ground
I'll pray to you right before I start

Cause you give me the strength, to face it
Lord show me the way, I'll take it
You give me the faith, to make it
You deserve the praise, I just wanna say
That you give me the strength

Used to be an awful child
No longer living in my coffin now
You had every right to toss me out
But instead you went and put me in the lost and found
And I don't plan to compromise
Even when they're looking at me with them awful eyes
I'll be your salt and light
And if need be, for the cause I'll die
Christians have lived in some harder times
So shame on me if I don't walk the line
If you say "two or three" I will walk those miles
I will pray, I will read, I will talk out loud
I was lost in a cloud
But his grace interceded and washed me all out
I was enabled to preach this gospel aloud
I got faith in you Jesus, will not let you down!

Cause you give me the strength, to face it
Lord show me the way, I'll take it
You give me the faith, to make it
You deserve the praise, I just wanna say
That you give me the strength

Cause you give me the strength, to face it
Lord show me the way, I'll take it
You give me the faith, to make it
You deserve the praise, I just wanna say
That you give me the strength

To face it
Lord show me the way, I'll take it
You give me the faith, to make it
You deserve the praise, I just wanna say
That you give me the strength
