Stronger

It's everywhere. It's everyone.

No matter where you go, you'll find troubled people.

People hurting, people sick, people worried, people needing help, people needing hope...

For many, like myself, music ministers to the soul. There are all types of music, but different styles speak more to some than others. Sometimes, though, the lyrics of one style may be just what a lover of another style may need.

Recently I was listening to my favorite radio station KLOVE and realized how very beautiful the message of Mandisa's song "Stronger" is. I thought of people in my life who may not care for her style, but could certainly be blessed by the message of her song.

So for all my family and friends out there who are needing HOPE, please take a moment to read the following lyrics. Or, if you would like to listen, play the video.

Enjoy and God Bless!

Stronger

Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...

Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares

'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
