Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Rhyme

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!
