Woke up this morning and looked in the mirror
Another candle, another year clearer
I trace the lines of the plans that I made
Watching the old expectations just fade
It didn't go exactly how I drew it out
Had my own share of the shadows and doubt
But I lift up my hands, I've got reason to sing
For the blessing of what this new birthday will bring
ChorusOh, life might not look how I thought it would be
But I still have the breath of the Lord inside me
I am patient, I'm loving, I'm faithful and true
I am worthy of all of the grace I step through
Sharnitha, just smile at the dawn and the light
Be glad you have life, yeah, you're doing alright
Verse 2Walked through the valley and kept my head high
Wiped away tears from the corner of my eye
They say the journey is meant to be hard
But faith is the anchor I hold in my heart
I celebrate making it to see this new age
Turning the hurt to a beautiful page
I didn't break, no, I stood through the test
I look at my spirit and know I am blessed
ChorusOh, life might not look how I thought it would be
But I still have the breath of the Lord inside me
I am patient, I'm loving, I'm faithful and true
I am worthy of all of the grace I step through
Sharnitha, just smile at the dawn and the light
Be glad you have life, yeah, you're doing alright
BridgeEvery detour was a path to my peace
Every setback just made my faith increase
So I won't complain about the closed doors
I'm standing here ready to praise Him for more
I'm still breathing, I'm still standing strong
Right here in this moment is where I belong
Final ChorusOh, life might not look how I thought it would be
But I still have the breath of the Lord inside me
I am patient, I'm loving, I'm faithful and true
I am worthy of all of the grace I step through
Sharnitha, just smile at the dawn and the light
Be glad you have life, and step into the bright
Yes, I'm glad I have life, and I'm doing alright!
