You are stronger (Hillsong United) and I thank God for that

When my world came cashing down around me and I realised I would have to survive the loss of another child I thought I could not possibly go on... And then this song filled my mind in 5.1 surround sound. Sitting on the bed with the gel still on my stomach and the knowledge that she was gone, the room was dark and we were alone and I just had to sing this song, through my tears the words come out " you are stronger" and I felt an easing of my mind, my grief was there but it was no longer paralysing. I knew God was telling me that he had this, he would be my strength and I would survive, that he loved me and his love was big enough to hold me up through this 




There is love that came for us
Humbled to a sinner's cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious


Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm and through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me



You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all



No beginning and no end
You're my hope and my defence 
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross



You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all
There is none



So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher
So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher



So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher
So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher



You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all



You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus you are lord of all
