Lift

What is depression but a state of mind?
An admittance that the enemy seems to have an upper hand?
I am not depressed.
I am thriving in the knowledge that the Lord has a plan for me.
That the outcome of my life is not dependent on my emotional state,
But the simple fact that God has my life in his hands.
So I will keep living for Him, strong and courageous
Even when things don’t seem to be going my way,
They are going God’s way, because I am staying faithful
I know that the Lord has the power to take this cup
But even if He doesn’t, my hope is Him alone
I know that the Lord has the power to take my suffering,
But even if He doesn’t, my hope is Him alone
I know that the Lord will bend me but not break me,
But even if He does, my hope is Him alone
I know that if I have nothing else, I have everything in Christ Jesus
And I will cling to him until my final breath.
So depression has no hold on me
Fear has no hold on me
Death has no hold on me
Because I am strong through the God who strengthens me
I am fully dependent on the Lord
The Rock of Ages
The King of Kings
The One True God Almighty
My Sustainer
My Healer
My Savior
My Maker
My Anchor.
