Chantele

I used to wander in the quiet dark

Carrying the weight of a weary heart

But I fell to my knees and I called His name

Left the chains behind, walked away from the shame

I turned my life over, let the healing begin

I am clean, I am sober, and breathing again

I am a child of God, walking in the light

Held by the Father who fought for my life

When the road gets steep and the shadows fall

I know my Savior will carry me through it all

I can do all things, I can finally see

Through Christ who strengthens me

He looked at Chantele and He called me His own

Planted a seed where the struggles had grown

Now I’m quick with a laugh and I've got love to share

Finding the joy that was always right there

Lovable, resilient, and standing up tall

He built a brand new foundation from a crumbling wall

I am a child of God, walking in the light

Held by the Father who fought for my life

When the road gets steep and the shadows fall

I know my Savior will carry me through it all

I can do all things, I can finally see

Through Christ who strengthens me

Every sober morning is a miracle of grace

Every bit of humor He puts back on my face

The past is surrendered, my spirit is free

I am exactly who He made me to be

I am a child of God, walking in the light

Held by the Father who fought for my life

When the road gets steep and the shadows fall

I know my Savior will carry me through it all

I can do all things, I am whole, I am free

Through Christ who strengthens me

Yes, through Christ who strengthens me
