Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in a war but not with this world,
You are the light that is beautiful,
And I want more,
I want all that is yours
Joy unspeakable that won't go away,
And just enough strength to live for today,
'cause my faith is on solid rock,
I am counting on God,
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I'm in a fight not physical,
I'm in a war but not with this world,
You are the light that is beautiful,
And I want more,
I want all that is yours
Joy unspeakable that won't go away,
And just enough strength to live for today,
So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring
'cause my faith is on solid rock,
I am counting on God,
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
In the miracle of christ in me,
Is the mystery that sets me free,
I'm nothing like I use to be,
Just open up your eyes,
You'll see
In the miracle of christ in me,
Is the mystery that sets me free,
I'm nothing like I use to be,
Just open up your eyes,
You'll see
Joy unspeakable that won't go away,
And just enough strength to live for today,
So we never have to worry what tomorrow will bring
'cause my faith is on solid rock,
I am counting on God,
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
Joy unspeakable that won't go away,
And just enough strength to live for today,
So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring
'cause my faith is on solid rock,
I am counting on God,
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
I am counting on, I am counting on God
