Christ Gave Me Life

You knocked me down once 
And Christ gave me life;
Knock me down again 
And I'll just get up twice.

Eight minutes no heartbeat, 
Not sound asleep just lacking the breath that I need.
Family surrounding me is this the end for me,
I know I'll make it through and this is not my que.

I'm righteous in Christ and he resurrects life. 
So Satan you have no power over me,
Take your hands off my life I'm unashamed and free, 
God picked me to be a miracle for everyone to see.

Medical staff said I would be handicapped. 
Like I would be behind bars and trapped, 
In a condition where I refuse to adapt. 
You can't stop me now, your plans can't harm me now,
I'm equipped and ready for the next round.
 
You thought you had me at one time, 
Stealing? That's a crime, I refuse to give up, 
Jesus empowered me to get up.
You messed with the wrong one, 
I am the king's son.
 
All my challenges and battles have already been won.
Now step down, and get on the ground, 
You're defeated, and there is nothing more for you.
Your power has been depleted. 
He rescued me, saved my life, 
And set me free, so thank you Christ.

You knocked me down once 
And Christ gave me life;
Knock me down again 
And I'll just get up twice.
