stronger

KLOVE has been playing one of Mandisa's newest songs on the air. And at first, I wasn't a fan. But it's slowly growing on me. And as I listened the the lyrics more closely, I really started to like it. Have a listen and read the lyrics. It's not only catchy, but it's truthful and relevant to so many lives.

In fact, I'm going to leave you with a one of her quotes that I just found on her about page.

"'That song is very appropriate for me. When I look back on this year and reflect on the difficult things I’ve gone through, I realize I’ve grown the most not from when things were great, but from when they were hard,' she says. '‘Stronger’ is encouragement for anybody who is going through a difficult time. As long as you’re still here and still walking through, you’ll be stronger in the end.'"

Listen to it here. Or watch it here:

And here are the lyrics via MetroLyrics:

Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares

[Chorus]
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you Stronger

Try and do the best you can

Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares

[Chorus]

'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
