He gives strength beyond reason

IMG_1859

I wanted to share the lyrics to a song one of my sister’s friends, Candi Hale, wrote and shared with me. It has ministered to my heart several times before but particularly this week when I have lacked physical strength, battled nerve pain in my arm & fought dizziness/nausea. It seems I just can’t turn the corner from my last round of chemo and it can be discouraging to want to accomplish the smallest tasks and find them overwhelming or exhausting. I suppose that’s why they call this “a fight” – it’s a physical, emotional & spiritual battle.

To add to this, Chris went to the ER at 4am today with severe pain in his gallbladder. Apparently, his gallstone decided to act up. He will do another ultrasound and consult with his doc to see if/when he’ll need his gallbladder removed. Poor Alexa – her parents are just the picture of health!! Regardless, we can rest in the Truth our Lord is our rock, our refuge, our strength, our hope. But don’t take my word for it, read these beautiful lyrics and be blessed by the tremendous reminders of who our God is.

Candi, thank you for sharing this beautiful song with me. The only thing that would be better is to hear you sing it with that unreal voice of yours! Promise me I’ll get to hear you sing it someday soon. I’d love to hear the tune so I can sing it on the days I need it most.

He Gives Strength Beyond Reason

Trust in the Lord, for He will give you rest.
Lift up your eyes, for He knows your circumstance.
Believe in Power, He gives strength beyond reason.
My God will supply all your needs.

He gives strength beyond reason
Power in weakness
Love in our sorrows
And Light in our darkness
He gives Grace to the humble and
Joy in despair
Healing in sickness
And Hope to the weary
My God will supply all your needs

Hope in the Lord, for He will give you peace.
Lift up your heart, for He knows your every need.
Believe in Power, He gives strength beyond reason
My God will supply all your needs.

I will serve the Lord
All the days of my life.
I will give Him praise
His name be Glorified.
My God will supply all your needs.
He gives Glory and Honor and Peace to all men
Salvation to sinners and Life with no end
My God will supply all your needs.
My God will supply all your needs.

  2. Thanks so much for sharing again Kelsey. Our prayers are with you every minute of every day. Am going to pass these lyrics on to our pastor as there are some people in our church who are having some hard times as you are - thought it would lift them up. Thanks to your friend as well. Love, Sharl and Doug Taylor
