I’m in a fight not physical
And I’m in a war, but not with this world
You are the light that’s beautiful
And I want more, I want all that’s Yours
Joy unspeakable that won’t go away
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’m counting on God
I’m counting on, I’m counting on God
I’m counting on, I’m counting on God
I’m counting on, I’m counting on God
I’m counting on, I’m counting on God
And the miracle of Christ in me is the mystery that sets me free
I’m nothing like I used to be, just open up your eyes, you’ll see
That the miracle of Christ in me is the mystery that sets me free
I’m nothing like I used to be, just open up your eyes, you’ll see
