I Refuse To Be Discouraged
I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why...
I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name; Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me from my peace; He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me, My life is in His hand, The "Son of the Lord" is my hope, It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated, My eyes are on my God; He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven's throne above; My prayers have reached the heart of God, I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything, My eyes are on His face; The battle's His, the victory is mine; He'll help me win the race.
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies!
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
For the MEN on the planet:
The strength of a man isn`t seen in the width of his shoulders.
It`s seen in the width of his arms that circle you.
The strength of a man isn`t in the deep tone of his voice.
It`s in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn`t how many buddies he has.
It`s how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn`t in how respected he is at work.
It`s in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn`t in how hard he hits.
It`s in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn`t in the hair on his chest.
It`s in his Heart ... that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn`t how many women he`s loved.
It`s in how he can be true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn`t in the weight he can lift.
It`s in the burdens he can carry.
