I'm gettin' well, I can tell day by day
God reaches down, pulls me up,
and helps me along my way
He holds my hand and I understand
His love so true and real
If I live long enough to heal
I'll be proud and strong not always wrong
I'll be straight and tall not afraid at all
and then what can sorrow steal
And there is no doubt, he'll lead me out
if I live long enough to hear
I'm amazed how far I have been
I try my best and fail each test
And it seems I'll never win
With a promise he'll not conceal
If I live long enough to heal
And then, perhaps I'll be
Proud and strong, not always wrong
I'll be straight and tall, not afraid at all
And then, what can sorrow steal?
If I live long enough to heal
There is no doubt, He'll lead me out
If I live long enough to heal
