Be Strong and Courageous, for who is Like our God?????
Be Strong and courageous, oh do not be terrified or discouraged for the Lord our God will protect us wherever we go
oh, He so totally is...just when I think I'm losing it all and being drained of everything in me...He comes out of nowhere...shaking the heavens and cracking the skies and pouring grace right into my heart...
I feel so afraid not knowing what to expect, will the next few moment bring blessing or destruction
I can only wait trusting in the one thing that seems so distant
that the very same God who now feels a million miles away has said that he will never leave me nor will he forsake me
do I trust oh do I trust...... I fear I must for I have been on the other side I know the pain I just trust him I have no choice
cause he answers my cry oh yes he is here and he cares he keeps his word and never delays
there is nothing I can do to change that I may have wandered I may have strayed but still his love pursues me
do I trust oh do I trust...... I fear I must for I have been on the other side I know the pain I must trust him I have no choice
but to trust in the name of the one who died on calvary oh yes the one who suffered my pain
look thru the haze of rain that fallz...wondering if You're there at all...are theze dropz resuscitation for the life You created or Your tears falling down over the mess we've created???
those that have been broken by the carelessness of uncaring hands
those that have been trampled into pieces by the crushing maddening crowd we call life
they can all be put back together into something magnificent
better than the original made by a master craftsman�s hands shaped to be a perfect vessel
to hold and do the work that the original was intended to do but was not able to due to flaws gained through ages of misuse
We have been attacked but not destroyed, beaten but not broken, injured but not killed
What was meant to separate and divide has only served to unite us
We stand as One ready and willing to do whatever is necessary, to attack and not retreat
We can be confident, we need not be afraid because we know that our God is greater than all these things that happen around us and that He is always in control
For some, judgement has come, for others it still remains
But do not be deceived for the guilty will be punished
And the dead will be avenged, judgement comes slowly
But still it comes, some will fear it others will not
In the end all will be set right and the Righteous shall stand
I stop and sit all alone and think of those that I call my own
the ones really close who understand
that sometimes I'm not quite who I think I am
and that even though I can be real strong
I still need a place where I know I belong
a place that gives me strength and courage and peace
and most of all brings me to see
that it's friends like you that make me who I really am
and help me stay on the path
to one day becoming who I am meant to be
but do they really know
where this thing they call livin is
they go everywhere and anywhere searchin
for it only to find
that it was right before their eyes
all they had to do was open their minds
and say �I believe� and they woulda discovered
that the thing we call life
is all about livin for the the man called CHRIST
