God Held Me

So many wonder, how I survived
I can't say it was easy, but I'm still alive
God never left me, He stayed by my side
And I am so grateful He kept me, oh-oh-oh

God held me together
Made sure that I didn't lose my mind
(Not this time) not this time
(Through all of my struggles) through all my struggles
Thinking hard sometime y'all (disappointments too)
You were there (You were right there, yes You were, oh)

I can't even tell you all that I've been through
The times I was down and didn't know what to do
I almost gave up but the God, You came and rescued me
Rescued me (he did) he did (he did) he did

(God held me together) oh yes he did
Made sure that I (He made sure that I) didn't lose my mind
Not this time (not this time) He remembered that I'm His child
Through all my struggles (ooh) disappointments too
You were there (oh-oh-oh-oh)

God, you were there when I couldn't sleep at night
I was lost and so confused
But I heard You say, "Just put your trust in Me"
That's when I gave it all (all of my problems, all of my issues)
I put it in Your hands (You covered me)
You sheltered me (You sheltered me) and You kept me safe

You held me together
God, You pulled me through
And by Your grace, I'm still here
You held me together
You reached out your hand and pulled me through
I'm so glad for your grace, 'cause that's why I'm still

He held me together
God pulled me through
(It's by Your grace) and by Your grace (that I'm still here) I am still here
I'm still here (He held me together) if you ever wanna testify tonight

God pulled me through (take a minute and look back over your life)
And by His grace I am still here (and see all the Lord has brought you from)
He held me together (that He was right there)
God pulled me through (all of the time)
And by Your grace (I'm talking to you)
I'm still here (and you, you)

(You never know) held me together (that you're never alone)
(Yes, you are never in this thing by yourself) God pulled me through
(Oh but God) and by his grace (He was right there, right there)
(Right there) I am here (that's why I'm telling you)
(It was nobody but Jesus) nobody but You
(Nobody but Jesus) nobody but You
(Oh, if it had not been for the Lord) I'm still here
Listen to me when I tell you this

My mama had me, and I think she did a good job raising me
Oh, my daddy made me, ooh, and he taught me how to be a man
(Ooh, but I can't give him the credit for saving me) nobody but You
(And I can't get the credit for saving me) nobody but you
Because it all belongs, it all belongs to you Jesus (nobody but You)
(You're the reason) you wanna lift your hand and say, "Yeah!" (You're the reason for this)
Yes (I'll say, "Yes!") Yes (I've got to say, "Yes!")
Because you are the reason, You, hallelujah
