I Stand

Thanks to ~Journey of the Survivor (From Grief to Survival) for sharing this song with me this week…

Stand

~Britt Nicole

Oh oh

I wake up to another day

I don't know if I can face

All the fears that are starin' me down

Yeah, I'm tryin' to be brave

But I'm a thread about to fray

I want to stand, but I don't know how

I look up

And all I see 

Is Your love holding me

When I feel like giving up

When my heart has hurt too much

Feels like I've reached the end

No, I won't turn and run

This battle will be won

When I've done all I can

I stand, stand, stand

I stand, stand, stand

Some days I lose my place

It's a fight to keep my faith

But, You are with me

I am not alone, no

When all around my world gives way

Tossed like an ocean wave

You are my rock when the storm clouds blow

I look up

And all I see 

Is Your love holding me

When I feel like givin' up

When my heart has hurt too much

Feels like I've reached the end

No, I won't turn and run

This battle will be won

When I've done all I can

I stand, stand, stand

I stand, stand, stand

On Your promise, I will stand

All other ground is sinking sand

On Your promise, I will stand

All other ground is sinking sand

Sinking sand

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Is sinking, sinking ... yeah

When I feel like giving up

When my heart has hurt too much

Feels like I've reached the end

No, I won't turn and run

This battle will be won, yeah

So I'll stand, stand, stand

I'll stand, stand, stand

I'll stand, stand, stand

Because He is risen, we too (as well as our children), through faith in Him, will also be raised from death to life!

John 11:25-26 KJV

"Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the Life: He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die...."

Requiem: Eric Wolterstorff in Memoriam

Part VI:

Christian Hope

Part VI

We have seen a great mystery:

We shall all be changed.

We shall be raised in Christ

…..as we were buried in Christ.

Death is swallowed up in victory.

The dwelling of God will be with his people.

God will wipe every tear from their eyes;

…..and death shall be no more.

…..There shall be no mourning, no crying nor

…..pain;

…..sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

For the old things are disappearing.

Revelation 21

The poor will be raised from the dust;

…..the sorrowing, lifted up from their ashes.

Song of Hannah

Those who sowed in tears

shall reap with songs of joy.

Psalm 126

For the word of the Lord is peace.

Psalm 85

"Behold, I am making all things new.

I am the Alpha and the Omega,

the beginning and the end."

Revelation 21
