Strong Enough to Save, by Tenth Avenue North

Many times in our chaotic lives, we are beaten and broken. We don't know who to trust in this world. Even our closest friends have betrayed us and have abandoned us. They don't care about our pain and troubles. We've laid awake many nights, praying and crying out to God that they would make it through to see the beautiful life that He had in store for them. With all the burdens we have, we want someone to listen to us, someone to care about us.

We think that there's no one out there who is strong enough to save us from the darkest corners of our hearts and minds. Or that there is anyone who is patient with us to listen to our every fear and doubt. It's hard to grasp that there's anyone out there who can. However, there is someone out there. God is able to save us. God is willing to listen to our every fear and doubt. He is patient with us, loves us, and wants the best for us. We're His children and He wants us with Him one day. He'll catch us as many times as we fall. He'll heal our hearts as many times as they're broken. He'll fix our lives as many times as we mess them up.

He's the only one out there who can accomplish that. He's the only one who is truly strong enough to save us. God may put people as tools to help get us to that point, but He is the one who is behind it all. To know that He is always there and that He always has a plan brings me great comfort. It doesn't matter what I've done. I'm never out of His reach. No matter how far away I am, He's always by my side. There's no length that He would not go to in order to save you. That's how much He loves and cares for you.

Strong Enough to Save: Tenth Avenue North (Album: The Light Meets the Dark)

You fought
but you were just too weak
so you lost
all the things you try to keep
now you're on your knees, you're on your knees

But wait,
everything can change,
in a moments time you don't have to be afraid,
cause fear is just a lie
open up your eyes

[Chorus:]
And He'll break
open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you

Look now is not too late
lift up your head
let the rain fall on your face
you're not far from grace, you're not too far from grace

[Chorus:]
And He'll break
open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you

[Bridge:]
I know the weight of this world can take you down like gravity
I know the current of yourself can take you out, out to sea
but hold on, hold on

[Chorus:]
And He'll break
open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
