about

So many of us have been passing through times of testing of varying severity lately, and comfort is not that easy to find. I’m reminded that in the midst of one of the toughest times I was to pass through in my life, one thought that helped me endure the moment was the thought that “one year from now this will all be over; I’ll be in another situation and this current difficulty will be resolved, or have morphed into something different, and I’ll no longer be in the midst of what I’m going through now…” That helped me escape the intense pressures of the moment…

I recently read this beautiful poem and felt the urge to put it to music, along with some thoughts of my own on the subject of suffering and persevering. I do pray whatever you are going through that you find GRACE to endure, and see somehow that as difficult as they are, ‘these are the things that make me strong…’ Thank God we are not alone in this…

[alternative chorus text:]
For grow I must, and grow I will
For nothing’s gained by holding back or standing still
And as I walk toward what’s ahead, I can’t go wrong
If I trust the One I’ve trusted all along
Knowing these are all the things that make me strong

lyrics

For every hill I’ve had to climb, every stone that bruised my feet
For all the blood and sweat and grime, blinding storms and burning heat
My heart sings out a grateful song
These were the things that made me strong

For every heartache, every tear, all the anguish and the pain
For gloomy days and fruitless years, all the hopes that lived in vain
I do give thanks for now I know
These were the things that helped me grow

CHORUS:
Grow stronger by the day
Know that things won’t always be this way
Tomorrow the pains so real today
Will all be passed away
Tomorrow, when I’m stronger than today


It’s not the softer things of life which stimulate our will to strive;
Bleak adversity and strife do more to keep our will alive.
The lesson’s been there all along:
These are the things that make us strong


The fight begins from our birth, and never ceases till the end
Rare will be the days on earth that we’ll escape this tiresome trend
But if we focus we can know
These are the things that help us grow

CHORUS:
Grow stronger by the day
Know that things won’t always be this way
Tomorrow the pains so real today
Will all be passed away
Tomorrow, when I’m stronger than today

[repeat chorus]
Tomorrow I’ll be stronger than today
