Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So many wonder how I survived
I can't say it was easy, but I'm still alive
God never left me, He stayed by my side
And I am so grateful He kept me, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
God held me together, made sure that I didn't lose my mind
No, not this time
Not this time
Through all of my struggles
Through all my struggles, and
Disappointments too, You were there
You were right there, listen
[Verse 2]
I can't even tell You all I've been through
The times I was down and didn't know what to do
I almost gave up, but the Lord came and He rescued me
Rescued me, oh-oh, God held me together
[Chorus]
God held me together
At the lowest point in my life
Made sure that I didn't lose my mind
No-no-no-no, no, no
Not this time
Through all of my struggles
Through all my struggles
Oh, it really got hard sometimes
Disappointments too
Lord, You were right there
You were there
[Bridge]
Listen, God You were there when I couldn't sleep at night
I was lost and so confused
But I heard You say, "Just put your trust in Me"
That's when I gave it all, I gave it all to You, oh
You covered me (You covered me)
You sheltered me (You sheltered me, oh)
And I'm glad that You kept me safe
[Refrain]
You held me together (Yes, You did)
God, You pulled me through
And by Your grace, I'm still here
You held me together
God, You pulled me through
I'm so glad Your grace, that's why I'm still
[Refrain]
He held me together
I almost destroyed my own life
God pulled me through
But Your
And by His grace, I am still here
Wouldn't let me go
He held me together
Pulled me out of my own mess
God pulled me through
And by His grace, I am still here
Your amazing grace
[Refrain]
You held me when I didn't know how I was gonna make it
He held me together
God pulled me through
And by His grace, I'm still here
You are the only reason, no, that I'm still here
He held me together
I've lost family and I even lost some friends
God pulled me through
But through it all
And by His grace, I'm still here
[Refrain]
You held me together
When I thought I was gonna lose my mind
He is the reason I'm still here
You're the reason that I'm still, I'm still here
He held me together
In the midnight hour
He didn't let me go
He is the reason I'm still here
You are, yes, You are
[Outro]
Justify and sing, "Nobody but Jesus"
Nobody but You
Oh, not my money
Nobody but You
Oh, not my father but You, You, You
I'm still here
They tried to take me out
Nobody but You
But God, You pulled me through
Nobody but You
Nobody but You Jesus, oh, nobody
