you've been

people tried to bring me down

i felt like i couldn't live

but i always hear your voice

telling me to just hang on in there

i should have been dead gone

sleeping in my grave

but i can say that because of you i'm still here

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

there's been times when i felt like i would die from this pain

and live with a strain inside

but lord you heard me and you answered when i called your name

you came and changed my life

now things seems to go a little smoother

i seem to handle life a little better

i learned how to wait and have more patience

and i found out that

you keep blessing me

time after time

now i can say

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

you've been

if it had not been for your precious blood

i just might have let life overtake me and lost completely

i don't know where i would be

i probably would be dead right now if it had not been for your precious
