Still I Rise

I woke up this morning with a song in my head. It is funny because one of my church members requested that I sing this song in church and at the time, it didn't have much meaning to me. The song wasn't easy to learn so I put off learning it for a long time but I eventually sang it. I can't believe this same song is ministering to me and sort of tells my story. The lyrics are below...

Yet Still I Rise Lyrics
Lyric of Yolanda Adams

Verse 1:Shattered, but I'm not broken

Wounded, with time will heal

Heavy the load, the cross I bear

Lonely the road I trod, I dare

Shaken, but here I stand

Weary, Still I press on

Long are the nights, the tears I cry

Dark are the days, no sun in the sky, yes

Chorus:

Yet still I rise

Never to give up

Never to give in against all odds

Yet still I rise

High above the clouds

At times I feel low

Yet still I rise

Sometimes I'm troubled, but not in despair

Struggling, I make my way through

Trials, they come to make me strong

I must endure, I must hold on

Chorus

Above all my problems

Above all my eyes can see

Knowing God is able to strengthen me

To strengthen me

Yet still I rise

Never to give up

Oh, Never to give in against all odds

Yet still I rise

High above the clouds

At times I feel low Yet still I

I need to know which way to go

Yet still I

At times I feel low

Yet still I

Oh Oh Oh I rise

Yet still I rise

Oh yes I do, yeah yeah

Today, I will ask God for the strength to press on.
