I Lift My Hands

This is a post that has been in draft form since April 27, 2014. I started drafting this two and a half weeks after my brother Doug entered heaven. I heard this song and it spoke to me after his death.

Sometimes healing is not how we envision healing and sometimes it’s hard to be grateful. It’s easy to shake your fists at God. Then, I lift my hands to believe again . You are my refuge and my strength.

The words still remain true today. There is a healer! His love is deep! He is unfailing!

Today is #worldgratitudeday. What are you thankful for today?


Be still, there is a healer
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it is unfailing
His arms are fortress for the weak

Let faith arise
Let faith arise

I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God, forever

Be still, there is a river
That flows from Calvary's tree
A fountain for the thirsty
Pure grace that washes over me

I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God, forever

Let faith arise, let faith arise
Open my eyes, open my eyes
Let faith arise, let faith arise
Open my eyes, open my eyes

And I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God
You are faithful, God, forever

Let faith arise
Let faith arise
