Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see you smiling
But life is tearing you apart
Looking good on the outside
But I can feel your heart
You feel helpless and hopeless
Isolated and confused
You feel like your life has no purpose
So let these words encourage you
[Verse 2]
You shall live
And not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith you shall live
And not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith you shall live
[Verse 3]
I see you standing there
With a towel in your hand
Getting ready to throw it in
Like no one really understands
They don't, don't understand
Here is what you must remember, yes
That you're in this for a reason
Don't give up, just keep the faith
Soon you'll be walking in your season
[Verse 4]
Remember you shall live
And not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith you shall live
And not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith
[Verse 5]
Just remember, just remember
He'll never put more and more on you
Than you can bear
It may be hard right now
Just know that He cares
[Verse 6]
You shall live
I command you to live
It's your only option, yes it is
By faith you shall live
You're gonna live through the hurt and the pain
You're gonna live through the heartache and shame
By faith you shall
I know you feel like giving up right now
Because you don't know which way to go
But I stop right here to tell you
Just for a little while
You can always go to the Lord
[Verse 7]
By faith you shall live
They're climbing over your life
Just speak it to me, just speak it to me
And walk it out
By faith you shall live
Remember the Devil is a liar, yeah
Just know it's not what has transpired
And you shall live
By faith you shall live
[Verse 8]
And not die, no, no, no, no, no
Though you've been hurting
I understand, for sometime
By faith, declare it, you shall live
And not die, no, no
Though you have been hurting
For sometime
By faith, you shall live
