Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I'm not a saint to have no doubt
Here in my weakness working it out
I am no hero at all
Were You looking for someone else
Who can be as strong as nails
I don't understand why You would call me
I'll never make it myself
'Cause I need Your help
I can't walk on the water
I can't stand in the fire
Unless I look into Your eyes
Unless I have You by my side
Can't conquer a giant
Or shut the mouth of a lion
I know that I am just a man
But I am in Your hands
And You can
Don't want to turn and run away
From what You called me to embrace
Give me courage, give me faith
I want to see the mountains move
I want to walk the path You choose
Wherever You lead I follow You
I can't walk on the water
I can't stand in the fire
Unless I look into Your eyes
Unless I have You by my side
I can't conquer a giant
Or shut the mouth of a lion
I know that I am just a man
But when I'm in Your hands
You can
Keep loving
Keep fighting
Keep hoping
Even in the midst of the silence
Keep trusting
Keep climbing
Keep running
Even when I feel like I can't
I can walk on the water
I can stand in the fire
When I look into Your eyes
When I have You by my side
I can conquer a giant
And shut the mouth of a lion
I know that I am just a man
But I am in Your hands
And You can
(Keep running)
(Keep fighting)
And You can
(Keep trusting)
(Keep climbing)
I know that I am just a man
But I am in Your hands
And You can
