Forever Strong

There's a hope that makes me strong
When my life feels cast in shadow
There's a truth that brings me life
When it seems my fields are bare
There's a passion in my soul
That will rise from every failure
For this strength is not my own
My Lord is strong, my Lord is strong 

You are forever strong
Forever kind and good 
You are forever strong
Forever merciful  

There's a peace that guides my heart
When my mind can't see my future
There's a trust that's standing firm
When there's nothing to hold on to
There's a grace that rests on me
Bringing joy into my weeping
For this strength is not my own
My Lord is strong, my Lord is strong

I look to you
Almighty saviour
And I marvel in you God
You're the solution
To every weakness
All our brokenness and doubt

You're Holding Me

Shelter
Peace within the chaos
Light that shines in every shade
In the darkest place

Promise 
Rising up within us
Hope that feels triumphant still
In the wilderness

You are the first and the last
The light that breaks though 
The passionate truth
Though the storms may come
Your almighty love
Will never let us drown
Will never let us go

You're holding on
You're holding on

You won't let go
You comfort me
Your life is strong
When mine is weak

Forgiven, here I stand

Love stretched out to set me free
A freedom borne in agony
Forgiven here I stand
Your life is mine 

It's not about what I deserve
What you have done has sealed my worth
Forgiven here I stand
Your life is mine

My hearts alive in love
Your love that set me free
Your glorious embrace
Of love and pain
Of healing mercy 

My thoughts don't comprehend
The true extent of your compassion
But still I know you died to set me free
Forgiven here I stand
