so many times I thought I would cry
so many times I thought I would die
but I got through
all because of you
so many times I wanted to give up
so many times I tried to turn from love
but I didn't because I knew
that now and forever I had you
chorus
cause you are my shelter
and you are my refuge
you are my fortress
I'm alive because of you
you are my savior
and you are my desire
you are my greatest hero
and I will lift you higher
so many times I thought I was broken beyond repair
so many times I thought that maybe you aren't there
but I always was made brand new
because I was held by you
so many times I didn't even think I was real
so many times I thought I was too dead to feel
but I always found out what I could really do
when I was brought to the challenges of you
chorus
so many times you stopped me from crying
so many times you stopped me from dying
so many times you stopped me from giving up
so many times I couldn't turn from your love
so many times you fixed my broken heart with your repair
so many times you helped me realize that your always there
and so many times you made me so real
so many times you made my soul feel
chorus
