I Will Overcome

It seems to me that God truly blesses songwriters. There are many times that I have felt completely one with a song that I hear/sing in church. There are many that actually just bring me to absolute brokenness no matter what I am dealing with at that time. Sometimes when I am dealing with feelings that I just can't express I feel like I need to find a song to encompass them. In the past few months I have been looking for that song, but I hadn't been able to find one. Until today.... Thanks to an old friend I ran across this Charlie Hall song. ( I will overcome) It has been a favorite of mine for many years.

Take some time and meditate on the words of this song. I hope that you are able to find peace and know that in Christ we are able to overcome all that we will endure in this life.


I Will Overcome----Charlie Hall

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

Chorus:
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

Bridge:
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
