There was no reason for hoping
That things would turn out like they did
I knew I was battling odds
And the chances were slim
But somehow You saw through Your mercy
To life beyond this present trial
And You helped me to stand to my feet
And to walk one more mile

I know that it must have been You
Taking good care of me
Only You could have known
How I needed You so desperately
I know it was Your hand of mercy
Coming right out of the blue
I was lost on my own
And I know that it must have been You

I'm so amazed that You found me
Hidden behind so much fear
But Your grace made me see
That thе future was bright and so clear
And now I look back at the vallеy
I see it through a much different light
Lord I can't believe
How You've taken my heart by surprise
I know that it must have been You
Taking good care of me
Only You could have known
How I needed You so desperately
I know it was Your hand of mercy
Coming right out of the blue
I was lost on my own
And I know that it must have been You

The world let me down
But You picked me up at my weakest
And helped me to see
That the source of my strength is You

And I know that it must have been You
Taking good care of me
Only You could have known
How I needed You so desperately
I know it was Your hand of mercy
Coming right out of the blue
I was lost on my own
And I know that it must have been You

I was lost on my own
And I know that it must have been You
I was lost on my own
And I know that it must have been You
