Living by FAITH



There is no doubt that it take "faith" to live by faith! Wow, I don't know about you but I desperately want to live a life where daily I find myself walking by faith with my Lord. How great it would be to get to a point in life where no matter what happens, what lies before me or what beneath me, I have faith that carries me through. That it be not ME but HIM! I am reminded by a song I so dearly love that has helped me more than once "carry me through".
Selah sings my favorite, a beautiful version of the originally written music by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland and lyrics by Brendan Graham.

Selah:
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
