AND I CAN SEE that my hands are trembling,
I can see that my legs are weak.
I can see that my head is spinning,
But I will overcome.
And I know that my heart is hurting,
And I know that my soul it aches,
And I know that it seems I’m failing,
But I will overcome.
O Lord, I’m strong in You,
O Lord, I’m wise in You.
O Lord, I can see in You,
So I will overcome.
O Lord, I am loved by You,
O Lord, I am free in You.
O Lord, I’m complete in You,
So I will overcome,
I will overcome,
I will overcome.
God, listen to me shout.
I’m so far from anywhere
And I’m calling out:
Lead me, lead me to the rock
That is higher than I.
You’re my breath, You’re my breath,
You’re my very life.
Infinite, holy King
Meets weak and frail Christ in me.
And I will overcome ‘“
Not by my strength,
But by Your grace and love.
Charlie Hall
