I’ve been told that I am worth it
And, that
That’s not up for compromise
But, reality is different
Sometimes
This world just won’t recognize
That I can
And, I will
I am strong
This is real
And, that
That’s not up for compromise
But, reality is different
Sometimes
This world just won’t recognize
That I can
And, I will
I am strong
This is real
When it feels like my good ain’t good enough
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
COUNT MY JOY
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
COUNT MY JOY
When I need a win so badly
And, it seems there isn’t one in sight
I remember all the others
Close my eyes and
Trust God’s time
‘Cause, I can
And, I will
I am strong
This thing is real
And, it seems there isn’t one in sight
I remember all the others
Close my eyes and
Trust God’s time
‘Cause, I can
And, I will
I am strong
This thing is real
When it feels like my good ain’t good enough
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
This is real
I made it through before, so I know I can do it again
I just look to the hills for my power within
‘Cause, I can
And, I will
I am strong
This thing is real
I made it through before, so I know I can do it again
I just look to the hills for my power within
‘Cause, I can
And, I will
I am strong
This thing is real
I woke up, that’s joy
Breath in my body, that’s joy
Friends & Family, that’s joy
That’s joy, that’s joy
Grace
And, Mercy
Always right behind me
That’s joy, that’s joy
That’s joy
I’m blessed
So blessed, even when I’m stressed
No matter what comes my way
I’ve learned to count it
I count it joy
I’m loved and loving
I have a future
Breath in my body, that’s joy
Friends & Family, that’s joy
That’s joy, that’s joy
Grace
And, Mercy
Always right behind me
That’s joy, that’s joy
That’s joy
I’m blessed
So blessed, even when I’m stressed
No matter what comes my way
I’ve learned to count it
I count it joy
I’m loved and loving
I have a future
When it feels like my good ain’t good enough
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
COUNT
MY JOY
And, when it seems like all my hope is lost
And, when it feels the world is caving in
I must remember
COUNT
MY JOY
