I Can Do Everything Through Him

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13 When life's treacherous trek becomes more than I can bear, And it seems there is no deliverance from my deep despair, I repeat these words of reassurance that will relieve my woe: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know! When I'm assailed from all sides with hopeless situations, I know that He will listen to my earnest supplications, And give me courage to triumph o'er challenges here below: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know! When loved ones pass and it seems more than can be endured, With His compassionate embrace and love, I am reassured. His peace and understanding upon me He will e'er bestow: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know! When I am faced with seemingly insurmountable goals, And my dreams and aspirations are dashed upon desolate shoals, With these comforting words I can conquer any foe: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know! When I encounter the many trials and tribulations of life, I turn to the One who can ease my stress and strife, Placing my trust and faith in Him from who all graces flow: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
