I am Resilience

I am roots in the ground.
I am a pillar in the foundation.
I am a brick in the mortar and
I cannot be moved.

I am strength to hope and hope to fight
I am will to risk and risk to try
I am resilience and
I cannot be moved

Not by anything
Not by wind, not by wake,
Not by trials will I break.
Not by crowds, not by friends,
Not by failures will I bend
I am faith and
I cannot be moved

I will press against the tide
I will stand against the wind
I will push against the current
I will grow against the storm
I am courage and
I cannot be moved

If the odds are against me
I would push forward and conquer
If there is no one beside me
I would refuse to give up
If my past says I can’t and my present is impossible
I will yet believe and not doubt
I am established and
I cannot be moved

Yes I am established in One who is greater
One and only One
And by Him and through Him and in Him alone
I have meaning and purpose and reason to live
And by his grace
I am saved and
I cannot be moved
