Because He Lives
Nick Neel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
here to learn to love and to forgive,
to find the hidden miracles
in everything that is
because He lives.
I can change and start over,
I can know the healing that He gives.
And though I have so far to go,
because He lives.
Because He lives I have a rock to lean on,
because He lives to strengthen me,
and everything I'll ever be is the gift that comes
from all He is and all He's done.
There is hope for tomorrow,
a promise only He can give.
The storms will try our faith,
but we know the way
because He lives.
Because He lives I have a rock to lean on,
because He lives to strengthen me.
And everything I'll ever be is the gift that comes
from all He is and all He's done.
Sent to earth for a season,
here to learn to love and to forgive,
and when it's time to leave this place
I know I'll see His face
because He lives.
I want to testfiy of all He gives
because He lives.

on Trust Him
If I could see it in the future
Back up few years ago
I wouldn't believe what was coming,
just on the road.
I'm farder, and not have a picture
I've done more than I've ever planned
It's easy to see, that one is supposed to be
inside someone's hands
Cause all I see, and it'll be front of me
Where can I know the ways
how to take that step?
Do I feel like I'm walking blind?
and I never the way I'll find
I know where I'm going
better than where I've been
So I'll trust him
There's always someone that I can turn to
And don't have to do it alone
where I am, that's speaking ponting me home
Do I know what's coming
I've always moved forward with faith
and one is in front of the other helping me to find the way
Cause all I see, and it'll be front of me
Where can I know the ways
how to take that step?
Do I feel like I'm walking blind?
and I never the way I'll find
I know where I'm going
better than where I've been
So I'll trust him
Trust him for all of my life
Cause here I'm darkness
and I need to follow the light
Cause all I see, and it'll be front of me
Where can I know the ways
how to take that step?
Do I feel like I'm walking blind?
and I never the way I'll find
I know where I'm going
better than where I've been
So I'll trust him
I'll trust him
I'll trust him
oh ohh ohh
