My life has been a hard one,
I have cried so many times
But when I hear a small voice,
It straightens out my mind
The voice says, "don't despair,"
Don't you ever give up on life
Just have faith along the way,
And things will turn out right
Chorus:
God's why I strive to survive,
And will as long as I'm alive
No problems pulls me down,
When he speaks to me inside
At times I'm having doubts,
Or it seems my hope is gone
A little voice speaks to me,
And I have faith to go on
At a time I might lose a friend,
I will pray for their soul
I know the Lord's listening,
He shows them where to go
Chorus:
God's why I strive to survive,
And will as long as I'm alive
No problems pulls me down,
When he speaks to me inside
