I've seen my share of struggles
heartache and pain
wondered why the good lord never came
Been standing in the trenches
as they're fillin' up with rain
but it made me who I am today

Cause I'm stronger now than I ever was
Knowing there's a reason for everything he does
Cause If bad things never happened
There'd be no need for God

If every door was open
I would never know
How the closed ones would guide me to where I had to go
I may not always see it at the time
But I know the bad can be good in disguise

Cause I'm stronger now than I ever was
Knowing there's a reason for everything he does
Cause If bad things never happened
There'd be no need for God

If I had no doubts and fears
I wouldn't need the Lord
To give me the strength
to carry on to carry on

Cause I'm stronger now than I ever was
Knowing there's a reason for everything he does
Cause If bad things never happened
There'd be no need for God
Cause I'm stronger now than I ever was
Knowing there's a reason for everything he does
Cause If bad things never happened
There'd be no need for God
