I'm Alive
Brian Littrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I caught a dream or two
It's been a sweet ride
But I've faced my share of nights
Searched like we all do
Looking inside
'Cause You've made it clear
This heart inside me beats because
You loved enough to take my cross
I'm alive
You gave Your life to shatter death
So even after my last breath
I'm alive
I'm finally wide awake
I'm finished being know
It's a new day
I feel it on my face
In hope's a midnight sun
That won't fade
I'm bowing down
And I'm crying out
This heart inside me beats because
You loved enough to take my cross
I'm alive
You gave Your life to shatter death
So even after my last breath
I'm alive
Forever, forevermore
Forever, Lord
