If You say this is the way, I'll walk in it
Even when I feel afraid of what You've given
Your strength is unrestrained, it knows no limits
And I know that I am safe with You here
'Cause the Rock is my foundation
My hope and my salvation
When the walls around me start to fall
When the prayers get their answers
But not the ones I pictured
What a gift to be with You through it all
When my dreams break before me, You hold the pieces
And I'm blinded by my tears and see no reason
But when my doubt says I'm done, You're not finished
(Oh) I still know that I am safe with You here
'Cause the Rock is my foundation
My hope and my salvation
When the walls around me start to fall
When the prayers get their answers
But not the ones I pictured
What a gift to be with You through it all
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh I know that I'm safe with you here
'Cause the Rock is my foundation
My hope and my salvation
When the walls around me start to fall
When the prayers get their answers
But not the ones I pictured
What a gift to be with You through it all
What a gift to be with you through it all
What a gift that you're with me through it all
Thank you, Lord, you've been with me through it all
