A Little Stronger Everyday

Michael W. Smith · I'll Lead You Home [1995]

I was throwing away what I needed most

It was the father, son, and the holy ghost

A little carnal knowledge is a dangerous thing

It'll eat a hole in the brain



I'd be the biggest fool in the whole universe

To trade a heavenly blessing for a worldly curse

I was a weaker man til I made my stand

Now I am here to make a change



I'm running blind on the wheels of faith

Moving to the beat of a heart that prays

Hanging on every word you said

I get a little stronger every day



Ain't gonna find any help on the TV

Or written down on the pages of People magazine

It takes digging a little deeper into the good book now

For a little sacred advice



I'm running blind on the wheels of faith

Moving to the beat of a heart that prays

Hanging on every word you said

I get a little stronger every day



Getting strong, stronger now, every day

Getting strong, stronger now, every day

I'm getting stronger



I'm running blind on the wheels of faith

Moving to the beat of a heart that prays

Hanging on every word you said

I get a little stronger every day
