I Can

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me
Philippians 4:13
It’s not what can I do, but what can’t I do?
I can say to this mountain Be thou removed
Into the sea, get out of my way
Ain’t no stopping me, I’m on my way
Past it, through it, over or under it,
Where He said I could be is where I need to Get
This, I’m not trying to be,.. I am
Because the Great I Am said that I can
Say I will, I will say I can
I shall say I must, I must say I shall
Not be moved, I will always stand
It’s not impossible cause God said I can
Keep on running, keep coming back,
Hold my head up cause There’s nothing I lack
Like to keep on believing, keep on dreaming
Keep on pressing, Keep on leaning
On the Lord’s side, I’ll have victory
Through Christ who strengthens my feeble knees So
If I fall, I’ll get right back up
You know the deal, you know what’s Up
Unto the hills from whence cometh my help
Which cometh from the Lord who made Heaven and
Earth, wind and fire, the cattle on a thousand hills
I shall, I must, I can, I will
Never give up; you can’t make me quit,
I won’t turn back, Even if I trip
Don’t count me out, I’m still a coming
This race ain’t over, not the one I’m running Cause
It’s not to the swift, strong, quick, or the fast
But to those who endure to the very One last
Thing to remember written with the Master’s hand
I can do all things through Christ, because God said I can
