Valarie

My heart was failing, I was brought down to the bed

With heavy shadows hanging quiet round my head

I had to learn to swallow, learn to speak a word

But in the silence, it was Your sweet voice I heard

You gave me patience, You were holding onto me

You taught my legs to walk, You set my spirit free

Now every step I take is holy ground

I was so weak, but by Your mercy, I am sound

I am a living testimony of Your grace

I've seen the miracles of Heaven in this place

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do all things

I'll lift my voice and praise the King of Kings

I'm so grateful just to have this breath to breathe

Lord, I'm alive because You rescued me

I look around at all the blessings in my life

The joy of being a mother and a wife

To see my children and my grandchildren smile

Makes every trial in the valley so worthwhile

You gave me a compassionate and honest heart

A trustworthy spirit, right here from the start

I cherish every moment with my family near

Because Your loving hand has kept me here

I am a living testimony of Your grace

I've seen the miracles of Heaven in this place

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do all things

I'll lift my voice and praise the King of Kings

I'm so grateful just to have this breath to breathe

Lord, I'm alive because You rescued me

I love to talk about the goodness of the Lord

I'll tell the world about the grace that You outpoured

Philippians four thirteen is written on my soul

Your love and care reached down and made me whole

This heart of Valarie's is beating strong today

So I will lift my hands to You and boldly say

I am a living testimony of Your grace

I've seen the miracles of Heaven in this place

Through Christ who gives me strength, I can do all things

I'll lift my voice and praise the King of Kings

I'm so grateful just to have this breath to breathe

Lord, I'm alive because You rescued me

Yes, I'm alive because You rescued me
