[Isaiah 41:10- i know the people were in different tribulation and fear but the Lord still promises in every facet of life to fear not for he is at our right hand... O Jesus help me not to fear what is so foreign to me and to fear not what could happen to me and to fear not my own mind that places things that are not of you inside it... Lord pull me in close to you and allow me to rest in you and be filled in you and to be found only in you.. I love you Lord.. fear not]


And I can see that my hands are trembling, I can see that my legs are weak
I can see that my head is spinning, but I will overcome
And I know that my heart is hurting, And I know that my soul it aches
And I know that it seems I'm failing, but I will overcome, yeah

O Lord I'm strong in You, O Lord I am wise in You
O Lord I can see in You, so I will overcome
O Lord I'm loved by You, O Lord I am free in you
O Lord I'm complete in You
So I will overcome, I will overcome, I will overcome

God listen to me shout, I'm so far from anywhere and I'm calling out
Lead me, lead me to the rock that is higher than I
You're my breath, You're my breath, You're my very life
Infinite, Holy King meets weak and frail Christ in me
And I will overcome not by my strength but by Your grace and love
