You can also view a video with lyrics of this song on Youtube at: 

https://youtu.be/EygcBxWhhL0

(Verse 1)
When the world tries to tell you who you are,
And the shadows start to dim your heart,
Lift your eyes, there’s truth to find,
You’re His creation, chosen, divine.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every breath you take, He knows your name,
You’re never lost, His love remains.

(Chorus)
You’re awesome, You’re amazing,
You’re loved, forever blazing
With heaven’s light inside your soul.
You’re valuable, unshakable,
You are a child of God.
You’re a disciple of Christ,
You’re loved by Him for all your life.
Your future is bright when you walk with Christ.

(Verse 2)
When the road feels long and faith feels small,
Just remember—He’s over all.
Every step is grace-defined,
He’s walking with you through space and time.

(Pre-Chorus)
You’re His hands, His heart, His light to shine,
You’re part of His eternal design.

(Chorus)
You’re awesome, You’re amazing,
You’re loved, forever blazing
With heaven’s light inside your soul.
You’re valuable, unshakable,
You are a child of God.
You’re a disciple of Christ,
You’re loved by Him for all your life.
Your future is bright when you walk with Christ.

(Bridge)
So lift your heart, lift your voice,
In His truth, forever rejoice.
You are known, you are seen,
You’re part of His redeeming dream.

(Final Chorus)
You’re awesome, You’re amazing,
You’re loved, forever blazing
With heaven’s light inside your soul.
You’re valuable, unshakable,
You are a child of God.
You’re a disciple of Christ,
You’re loved by Him for all your life.
Your future is bright when you walk with Christ.

(Outro)
Yeah, your future is bright—
When you walk with Christ.
