Sometimes I feel I’m sinking,
my troubles seem so heavy
it’s as if they’re about to break
through a swollen, bulging levee.
I feel the rushing waters,
come roaring through my heart
and as they swiftly flow
my faith starts unraveling apart.
The waves of my fears,
begin to swirl all around
tossing my trust back and forth
till my mind’s no longer sound.
Then Jesus reminds me,
it is I, who dwells inside
and suddenly my worries
calmly begin to subside.
The danger of me losing,
all I’ve come to know and trust
no longer on my battered soul
causes my hope to be thrust.
Instead there is a quiet calm,
a peace that comes along
as Jesus reassures me . . .
it is I, who makes you strong!
~~~~~~~~
“I can do all things
through Christ
which strengtheneth me.
