Still Standing

You gave me courage to believe
that all Your goodness I will see
And if it had not been for You standing on my side
where would I be?

If not for Your goodness, if not for Your grace
I don’t know where I would be today
If not for Your kindness I’d never could say
I’m still standing
If not for your mercy, if not for your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favour I never could say
I’m still standing
but by the Grace of God

To You I lift my offering
and set my heart on higher things
for if it had not been for you standing on my side
where would I be

If not for Your goodness, if not for Your grace
I don’t know where I would be today
If not for Your kindness I’d never could say
I’m still standing
If not for your mercy, if not for your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favour I never could say
I’m still standing
but by the Grace of God

I’m still standing… but by the Grace of God
