Chorus:
I've seen too many victories, to let defeat have the last word (repeat 4x's)
Lead:
[Well hear this] When I wake up in the morning, and realize that I'm, that I'm still here
That let's me know that God gave me favor, no matter what circ*mstances reveal
He brought me through, my pain and sorrow, reassuring I got hope for tomorrow
Defeat can't compete with mercy and grace, If i just keep faith I can win this race
Chorus
Lead:
When I think of his goodness and all he's done for me, dare not complain
Cause he brought me over the rugged hill, all of my heartaches and pains
Well I understand trials come to make me strong, I gotta stay in the race y'all I gotta keep pressing on
This is my testimony to you, I got victory even though I don't look like what I've been through
Chorus
Bridge:
When I wake up in the morning [I count it victory]
I get outta my bed [I count it victory]
I put one foot before the other [I count it victory]
(yaa-ee-ya-eh-eh) I count it victory yes I do [I count it victory]
Said I count it victory yes I do [I count it victory]
My peace of mind yaa [I count it victory]
Whoooaa [I just count it victory]
All of my suffering [I count it victory]
Suffering that I went through [I count it victory]
Through all of my struggles I'm going through yeah [I count it victory]
Every breath that I take [I count it victory]
Every move that I make [I count it victory
And every word that I speak [I count it victory]
I,I count it victory
The pain that I endured [I count it victory]
I just count it victory [I count it victory]
