I know life is hard but the Gospel is easy I know there is pain in this place There are trials, and struggles, and heartaches And suffering that we must face. No matter the challenge, no matter the cost There is power and victory to be had So whether you’re drowning or hopeless or lost Jesus has a grace for that. Jesus has a grace for that Jesus has a grace for that Greater than I thought . . . more than I expected …everything that I could say Beyond all I hoped for. . . everything I've needed … but still I continue to pray. Satan is crushed by the gospel’s Good News No matter the strength of the lion that pursues Greater is He that dwells within me And so now ours is the victory. Jesus has a grace for that Jesus has a grace for that Greater than I thought . . . more than I expected …everything that I could say Beyond all I hoped for. . . everything I've needed … but still I continue to pray.

I lift up my eyes to fix them on your throne I lift up my eyes- set my sights on you alone. You lift up my heart from the depths of the grave You lift up my heart for you are mighty to save. I lift up my hands so ready to believe I lift up my hands reaching out to receive You lift up my soul, on the rock set my feet You lift up my soul from depths of defeat I lift my eyes to the hills there where my help comes from I lift my eyes to the hills there where my help comes from I lift up my hands and release all my plans To receive the best blessings of all I lift up my hands and lay down my demands As on your great name I call. For I am so needy to be like a child Protected and nurtured and no more beguiled So I lift my hands to receive and to give The praise that is due you while yet I still live. I lift my eyes to the hills there where my help comes from I lift my eyes to the hills there where my help comes from Anthony Foster November 28, 2011

Redux on some lyrics, in a new context... The bruising of his heel has crushed the serpent’s skull And all that will be left is and empty voided hull The power of the cursed one will then at last be null The power of the cursed one will then at last be null We will take the bread and we will drink the cup And it will be our sustinance so we shall drink it up So eat his body drink his blood From the slaughtered lamb that stood. This living holy water pours And so the victory is ours. And so the victory is ours. The bruising of his heel has crushed the serpent’s skull And all that will be left is and empty voided hull The power of the cursed one will then at last be null The power of the cursed one will then at last be null In simple profound gratitude This blessing we receive The very blood and life of Christ Is ours if we believe This mortal vail is shattered And now death becomes the means Unto the end of life itself Much more than it may seem This act of warfare on the principalities...
