He didn't give me everything
I might have needed to take me far
He didn't give me anything
I might have wanted to make me a star
If it were up to me
I might have chosen differently
But then maybe not for I have been taught
By what He witheld from me
He gives me strength to make it
He heals my heart when others break it
He's there for me
He gives me strength to make it
He who himself was hurt and hated
More than I could ever be
He strengthens me
He didn't give me everything
No silver platter
No life of ease
He didn't give me eveything
I might have needed to help me succeed
Yet in my heart I see
He knows what is best for me
So I will go on
And write my own song
With what He has given me
He gives me strength to make it
He heals my heart when others break it
He's there for me
He gives me strength to make it
He who Himself was hurt and hated
More than I could ever be
He strengthens me
I'll show my love for Him
I put my trust in Him
Running a race
Walking by faith
Until I'm home again with Him
He gives me strength to make it
He heals my heart when others break it
He's there for me
He gives me strength to make it
He who Himself was hurt and hated
More than I could ever be
He strengthens me
