I Live Because of You

I'm the seed that fell on the pathway, trampled under feet Like the crop that grew among thorns, always in danger Like a tree planted on rocky ground, scorched by the sun There was no chance for me to survive Or to be here But you kept me safe, free from all dangers Made me drink from the stream by the wayside That's why I'm here: I live because of you O Lord I live because of you Mighty God Holy Father Loving God I live because of you Mighty God Holy Father Loving God I live because of you When I'm feeling low, when I'm troubled, finding no relief When I make mistakes, seeking forgiveness hated by the world When the ones I trust betray and hurt me and leave me all alone When I'm feeling trapped, feeling helpless and in despair You raise my up! Free me from my troubles Give me hope and comfort for affliction That's why I'm here: I live because of you Oo oo I live because of you Mighty God Holy Father Loving God I live because of you Mighty God Holy Father Loving God I live because of you Mighty God Holy Father Loving God I live because of you
