How's your week been? Good? Bad? Ugly? To be honest, this has been wearisome week. This has been a week in which it has been impossible to hide from the hurt around. This has been a week where I was so tired I had to get the bus home from work because I didn't think I would make it if I walked (you might think this is a bit melodramatic but I never get the bus home. And it was only Tuesday). This has been a week where everything has just been Too Much. This has been a week where I have needed a constant reminder that God has overcome the evil of this world. This has been a week where I have played this song again, and again, and again, and again...
There is a light
It burns brighter than the sun
It steals the night
And casts no shadow
There is hope
Should oceans rise and mountains fall
It never fails
So take heart
Let His love lead us through the night
Hold on to hope
Take courage again
In death by love
The fallen world was overcome
He wears the scars of our freedom
In his name
All our fears are swept away
He never fails
So take heart
Let His love lead us through the night
Hold on to hope
Take courage again
All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome
All our failure
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome
All our heartache
And all our pain
God our healer
He has overcome
All our burdens
And all our shame
God our freedom
He has overcome
All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome
All our failures
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome
God our justice
God our grace
God our freedom
He has overcome
God our refuge
God our strength
God is with us
He has overcome
In this world you will have many troubles. But take heart for I have overcome the world. John 16:33
