Because I know You live, I’ll put my faith in this
That You hear me call, Lord, You hear me calling
Because I know You live, I’ll set my heart on this
You won’t let me fall when all else is falling
When all You are is glorious, Oh God
Victorious and strong, whom shall I fear
When all You are is powerful and true
And good in all You do, whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear
Because You’re on my side, I won’t believe the lie
That I’m all alone, I’m not all alone here
Because You live in me, my heart will still believe
That You came to save, and You’ll come to save me
I know You’re with me in the fire, You never leave me in the flame
I know Your thoughts are so much higher and all Your ways are not my ways
