This item requires reviews with ratings.
If I tremble, let me tremble bravely.
If I fall, let me do so with grace.
If my soul cries out for salvation,
Hold my hand; give me strength; give me faith.

Help me live my life to the fullest,
Let me take each day as I can.
Help me make the most of your memory,
Let me understand what was God's plan.

My days without you are lonesome,
But your love stays alive in my heart.
My life is incomplete without you,
But I know we're never truly apart.

I long for another day together,
And one day we will reunite.
But until then I'll live to the fullest,
Until then, I'll continue to fight.

If I tremble, let me tremble bravely.
If I fall, let me do so with grace.
Next time I cry, my tears won't be sorrow,
It will be joy, and I'll be in your embrace.
