I used to do okay on my own
Think I was made of stone
And I could carry a heavy load
Never thought that one day I'd be all aloneAnd then the road got along, I saw I was wrong
And had no one to lean upon
But you kept me from falling far below
And taught me something I had never knownThat You Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in Your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know greater thingsIf I had a dime for every time
I've tried to live this on my own
I guess I'd be a rich man, wouldn't I?
(Be a rich man)But money never bought me peace, love or happiness
It only seemed to make a mess
And right about then I'd open my eyes
And once again I realizeThat You Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in Your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know greater thingsPush me out
Until I stand on stone and say I've made a choice
Push me down
Until I'm on my knees and listing for your voicePush me around
Until my life touches others and they see what I've found
And show me how
I can take this life and give it awayYou Lord, You Lord
Can hold my heart in Your hands
And You Lord, You Lord
Can change me in a fleeting glance
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know that it's You Lord, You LordYou Lord, You Lord
And You Lord, You Lord
Can push me to know great things
