I've been down enough to call it quits
...many of times
Sometimes tripped
Sometimess pushed
Sometimes I stumbled
At least once I collapsed
But no time did I stay
That's because something inside won't let me die
I've been treated like a bridge
for feet to walk over
I've felt like a stump
for the wicked to rest on
I've been the one done wrong
and the one with the wrong doing
But no time did I stay
Because something inside won't let me die
I've had the gates of hell knocking
While I stood on the Solid Rock
All the while rocking
Wondering where my troops were
Finding out it's not in the seen
Learning to trust in the invisible
The unseen hand reaching down to grab for me
letting me know I can
Because I couldn't stay
Something inside won't let me die
I've forsaken myself
enough times to count on at least one hand
The weaker side of me
joining the side of the enemy
to take me out
Had plans to end it
Wishing it to be over
But the written was different
What was...is....what shall be
So I couldn't stay
Because something inside won't let me die
Greater is He in me than he that is in the world
That means the battle is already won
It's won when I'm bent over
It's won when the tears fall down
It's won when the heart is broken
It's won when I wish the days would cease
It's won
Because I can't stay down that way
When something inside won't let me die
