I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Put ya hands in the air, yeah
Move if you dare
Don't ever be scared
Don't show em ya fear, yeah
Fight through da tears
Look at the chains, Just Look at the chains
It's a Spiritual thang
Don't be ashamed
To call on his name (Yaweh) This not a game
Im with the gang
Made an exchange, watch how we bang yeah
They shattered his veins, he had to hang
Just to clean dirt off my name
That's so insane
The Love on display, the reason im living today
Thoughts on replay
I cannot repay, What he did on that day
I should be dead but im not
Chance after chance i done got
Let it play no rewind
I thank God im alive
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Alpha, omega, the master, my savior, will save me, from disaster
Im more than, able, to break all, these cages, that try to keep
Me boxed in, an angle, sky high, freedom
Blessed up, im breathing, glowed up, im beamin, win win, streakin, big faith, Stephen Acts 6, Read it, believe it, Israel it's a new season
Haters on deck tryna see-me-drown
You can aim at my heart but-ima-keep-the-crown
On my MJ White never back down
Demons tryna grip me up but ima shut it down Uncut
ima go a thou
Bouta run it up, til im in the ground
Don't believe in luck, made a come up
From where i been to, where im headin now
Tryna live it up, so when the trumpet sound
I get caught up, beyond the clouds, is my lifestyle
I should be dead but im not
Chance after chance i done got
Let it play no rewind
I thank God im alive
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive
I thank God im Alive
Im alive im alive
Angels all on my side
Im alive, im alive

I was dead in my transgressions
Wandering in sin
I went searching for redemption
Down a road that had no end
I was walking through the fire
I was living on the run
With my flesh lost in desire
I was drowning in the flood
But God, rich in mercy
You came to save me
Now I'm alive
But God, strong and mighty
You reached down for me
So I could rise
Now I'm alive
I am far from being perfect
There are days that I regret
On this battlefield, I struggle
With the lies that I have lived
I have fallen short of glory
I can't make it on my own
If You kept record of my past
I'd be sinking like a stone
But God, rich in mercy
You came to save me
Now I'm alive
But God, strong and mighty
You reached down for me
So I could rise
Now I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I was in the grave, but God You called me out
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I was in the grave, but God You called me out
But God, rich in mercy
You came to save me
Now I'm alive
My God, strong and mighty
You reached down for me
So I could rise
Now I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I was in the grave, but God You called me out
Now I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
I was in the grave, but God You called me out
Now I'm alive

Vivo
Eu estava morto em minhas transgressões, vagando pelo pecado
Eu fui em busca de redenção na estrada que não tinha fim
Eu estava andando por este fogo, eu estava vivendo na corrida
Com minha carne perdida em desejo, eu estava me afogando na enchente
Mas deus
Rico em misericórdia
Você veio para me salvar
Agora estou vivo
Mas deus
Forte e poderoso
Você se abaixou para mim
Então eu pude subir
Agora estou vivo
Estou longe de ser perfeita, tem dias que me arrependo
Neste campo de batalha, eu luto com as mentiras que eu vivi
Eu fiquei sem glória, eu não posso fazer isso sozinho
Se você mantivesse o registro do meu passado, eu estaria afundando como uma pedra
Mas deus
Rico em misericórdia
Você veio para me salvar
Agora estou vivo
Mas deus
Forte e poderoso
Você se abaixou para mim
Então eu pude subir
Agora estou respirando, estou expirando
Eu estava no túmulo, mas Deus me chamou
Estou respirando (estou respirando)
Estou expirando (estou expirando)
Eu estava no túmulo, mas Deus me chamou
Mas deus
Rico em misericórdia
Você veio para me salvar
Agora estou vivo
Meu Deus
Forte e poderoso
Você se abaixou para mim
Então eu pude subir
Agora estou respirando (estou respirando)
Estou expirando (estou expirando)
Eu estava no túmulo, mas Deus me chamou
Agora estou respirando (estou respirando)
Estou expirando (estou expirando)
Eu estava no túmulo, mas Deus me chamou
Agora estou vivo

Committed my life to Christ this morning alongside my amazing 16 year old daughter. Rocked this song at full volume when I woke up this morning. Lyrics could not be more perfect! He is risen!!
@kranran-k409
He died so that you and your daughter will rise. Praise Jesus.
@derekjones1471

How awesome is that!

I am clean from all drugs for 35 days! This song was no doubt written with me in mind. I was wandering, searching for the answer. I crashed into rock bottom and that is when God with his mercy came and saved me. I can breathe in and breathe out with absolute peace now. I lost everything that I had in my life because of drugs but I could not be any happier. I now know God and his love for me. For some of us that are hard headed it takes a hard smack in the head to realize what we have been searching for has been right there all along. I thank God that I am alive and finally loving life!
@andrewwhitley2568
Carl V73 amen!!!!! How are you doing now?
@nala468
Such love bro!!
@cliffbarber1642
Thank you for your witness! We are all broken and in need of God’s grace and mercy to free us from our bondage to sin
