alive​
Copyright © Emily Elizabeth Black 2008​
Verse 1:
pressures mount, frustration grows
into a mountain
i’m quietly imploding
so scared of disappointing
this isn’t right, or am i wrong? ​
is this the way it should have been along?
i don’t know and why do i have to choose,
when there’s nothing to gain, and everything to lose?
​
Pre-Chorus:
But somehow, somewhere, you reach out to me
You call when I least expect it
You say that with the faith of a tiny seed
We can move this mountain
​
Chorus:
so i give it up,
i give it all,
i’m living like i’ve never lived before
lay down my plans,
and all my pride,
let your Spirit be my guide
i’m alive, i’m alive, i’m alive​
and i’m living
for You
in everything i la-da-da-di-da do.
​
Verse 2:
well i don’t know just where i’m headed,
but i stumbled across a realization
my journey’s never been
all about the destination
​
Pre-Chorus:
it’s about who i touch
so You can reach
its what i do not just what i speak
learning that with the faith of a tiny seed
we can move this mountain
​
[Chorus]
​
Bridge:
through the fire,
through the flames,
i will call on Your name
​
[Chorus]
