Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this life, you will have trouble, you can't avoid it
You can't get around it
But you can live through it
[Verse 2]
Life is filled with so many ups and downs
Have you ever been there?
One day, you're smiling, the next day, you're fighting
To hold back your tears, to hide how you feel
So tired of faking like everything is okay
When you know it's not right
(You can't get) No sleep at night
(And now) You may be asking 'cause you never imagined
How could this be God?
This cannot be God
[Verse 3]
I can only tell you what He told me (He told me)
(This is what He told me)
[Verse 4]
Live through it (He said James)
Grow through it (You will)
Get through it (You can make it)
You can make it if you just
Pray through it, don't let this be the end for you (It's not the end)
(This is only temporary)
So live through it (Hallelujah)
[Verse 5]
Oh (It always hurts more when it's someone close to you)
Someone you love (Yeah)
May have just let you down (But don't worry)
It's not the end of the world (You gotta understand)
God already knew everyone who would leave you
It's better this way, don't beg them to stay
(They didn't deserve you) You didn't see it coming
And now, you feel broken
How could this be God? (This can't be God)
This cannot be God
[Verse 6]
I can only tell you what he told me
(God is saying)
[Verse 7]
Live through it (It's growing pains)
Grow through it (Your family needs you to)
Get through it (But here's the key)
You can make it if you just
Pray through it (You gotta pray through it)
Don't let this be the end for you
(God only allowed it because he knew you could survive it)
(So) Live through it (Come on)
[Verse 8]
I know you're saying now
There's no way I can live through this
(But live) But live through it
No one can understand all that you have been dealing with
(You've been holding in so much, it feels like you're)
You're dying inside (Dying inside) (Dying inside)
(You're in the fight of your life) You're in the fight of your life
(God knows) But God knows (But God knows)
And he's there (And he's there)
And you will (Somebody, lift your hands right now and say, "I will")
[Verse 9]
Live through it (Grow)
Grow through it (I've got to)
Get through it (Whoa, yeah)
(My sister) You can live through it
(My brother) You can live through it
(It might not feel good, but know) It's working for your good
(It's hard right now) You can live through it
(And your faith is being tested) You can live through it
(But this gonna make you so much better) It's working for your good
[Verse 10]
(You made a mistake) You can live through it
(But God won't throw you away) You can live through it
(He'll give you favor even after a failure) It's working for your good
(You may not see it right now, but) It's working for your good
(You'll feel like you're at the breaking point) It's working for your good
(But God's about to reverse it) Your good
(And give you back double) Your good
(If you believe that, say) It's working for my good (My good)
(I may have problems) My good
(But my problems don't have me) My good
(God's making it work for my good)
(This is not the end) No, this will not be the end for you (For you)
(There's life after this is over) So live through it (Yeah)
