CeCe Winans - Count On Me Lyrics
Lyrics
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on...
I can see it's hurting you
I can feel your pain
It's hard to see the sunshine though the rain
I know sometimes it seems as if it's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can...
Count on me through thick and thin a friendship that would never end
When you weak I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me I will be there Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say (Please believe me when I say)
Count on...
(you can count on me, oh yes you can, ahhh)
ohhh
I know sometimes it seems as if
We're standing all alone
But we'll get though it
Cause love won't let us fall
Count on me through thick and thin (...count on me...I?ll be there)
A friendship that would never end (Friendship that... will never end)
When you weak (You are weak)
I will be strong (I'll be strong)
Helping you to carry on (Helping you...carry on)
Call on me I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say count on
(please believe me when I say)
(count on )
There's a place inside of all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answers there within, ohhhh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it (we?ll get through it)
Just (just) don't (don?t) give in...
Count on me through thick and thin (count on me)
A friendship that would never end (It will never end)
When you weak (You)
I will be strong (I'll be strong...)
Helping you to carry on
Call on me I will be there (call on me...i?ll be there)
Don't be afraid (Don't... be afraid now)
Please believe me when I say
Count on
Count on
Count on
Count on
Count on
Count on
Count on me...
Ohh yes you can, I know I can, sure I can, so glad I can, so glad I Can, count on me

Meaning & Inspiration
CeCe Winans’ rendition of “Count On Me,” released on November 8, 2013, stands as a profound testament to unwavering loyalty and dependable support, echoing the very heart of divine promises. While the release date marks its digital presentation, the song’s message taps into an ancient covenant of faithfulness, mirroring the assurances found throughout Scripture. At its core, the song is an invitation to recognize and rely on a steadfast presence, a theme that resonates deeply within Christian theology. This isn't merely about human companionship, though that is a beautiful reflection; it’s a spiritual anthem that speaks to the unshakeable character of God. When CeCe sings of being there through thick and thin, she is, in essence, articulating the nature of God’s love and commitment to His people, as described in passages like Deuteronomy 31:6, which states, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." This promise forms the bedrock of Christian hope, reminding believers that even in their darkest hours, a divine hand is extended. The song’s emphasis on being a reliable source of strength and comfort directly aligns with the prophetic declaration in Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Winans’ soulful delivery imbues these timeless truths with a palpable sense of assurance, transforming a simple declaration into a powerful declaration of faith. The song’s narrative is one of profound trust, encouraging listeners to lean into a love that never falters, a love that is as constant as the sunrise. It speaks to the Christian understanding of God as a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, as Psalm 46:1 so eloquently puts it. This rendition, therefore, serves as a beautiful reminder that in a world often characterized by change and uncertainty, there is one upon whom we can eternally depend, a truth that provides an unshakeable foundation for life.
