Christ Gives Me the Strength

When I wake up, I'm thankful
To be alive another day
Depression sometimes makes me feel
I won't make it through today 
With Christ's strength
He helps take that feeling away
Made me see the possibilities 
I never thought could be
To believe in myself, for with faith
He helps me take the extra mile I see
I know He is by my side 
Each step if the way
He's available 24/7
Every single day

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.
