this i call to mind

"my soul is bereft of peace;

i have forgotten what happiness is;

so i say, 'my endurance has perished;

so has my hope from the LORD.'

remember my affliction

and my wanderings,

the wormwood and the gall!

my soul continually remembers it

and is bowed down within me.

but this i call to mind,

and therefore i have hope:

you've won again

You've Won Again

Words and Music by Taylor Reavely (c) 2011

If I would tell the story

Of Your great love for me

I'd have to start before I'd

Ever come to be

Before the world the founded

You'd written down my name

You'd made a plan to save me

Defeat death and the grave

be still

Be still, my soul

Be quiet and wait

In silence rest

For God shall save

You troubled heart

Why do you weep

Do you know God

Do you know peace

Be still

And know that I am God

Be silent

For hope is not lost

Be quiet

And still I hear your cry

Be still

For I am on your side

Amid the waves

Amid the flood

Your hand is stretched

And Your promise good

Oh I believe

But help my unbelief

And let me hear You

Hear You speak

So why do I worry

And why do I fear

‘Cause I am so noisy

I cannot hear

Your voice in the whisper

“Do not be afraid

For I am still faithful

And mighty to save”

shaken

Fighting to see the light

With a mask over my eyes

My world seems oh so frail

Behind this shallow veil

There is something still

At odds against my will

Warring to do right

On a battlefield of night

Quietly a thorn is growing in the recess of my heart

Jesus, please remove it and remind me who You are

That I may see Your beauty and the wonder of Your grace

And remember why I’m fighting for the One who took my place

You are my Salvation

I am not forsaken

You are my Foundation

I will not be shaken.

Fighting for the King

I give my everything

But all I am is Yours’

To You I look for more

Grace in every station

I place my expectation

Trusting You to conquer

My feeble heart grows stronger
