[English]
Insecure, so unsureAnyone could ever love me just the way I am, the way I am
Turned away, so afraid
Shame will come and tell me I'm rejected once again, oh
I thought my worth was lost
But it wasn't lost on You
Help me believe what is true
You are for me, not against me
I call on Your Name, You silence the shame
You hear me, You're with me
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone (ooh)
You bottle up all my tears
There's not a one that's wasted in Your hands, in Your hands
When I feel too weak to fight
Your arms will hold me up and give me strength to stand
I thought my worth was lost
But it wasn't lost on You
Help me believe what is true
You are for me, not against me
I call on Your Name, You silence the shame
You hear me, You're with me
I know I'm not alone (ooh)
When the walls are falling down
When I'm face-to-face with doubt
And the lies are getting loud
Help me stand my ground
You say You will never leave
When I'm surrounded by my enemies
You go behind me, before me
Defend me, restore me, yeah
I am not alone, no, no (I know)
I am not alone (I am not alone)
I am not alone, no, no (I know)
I am not alone
You are for me, not against me
I call on Your Name, You silence the shame
You hear me, You're with me
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone
