STRONGER
Mandisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking, why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather
Oh, don't hang your head
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you
Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
Go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
Things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
Things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me
Only gonna make you stronger

Moses' song to the Lord our God after He led them OUT of their HARD LIFE, TROUBLES, SICKNESS and SLAVERY in Egypt and through THE DESERT,....(this WORLDly kingdom is like those two places - even a PRISON, for us before we KNEW and TRUSTED in our LOVING FATHER in HEAVEN and His True Word Of Heavenly-Love-Come-Down = Jesus Christ :). BUT GOD is here, WAITING on us to call out/cry to Him (He says in Jeremiah 33:3, an AMAZING PROMISE!! to Jeremiah while he was still locked up... as we are... when we do not KNOW
TO STAND ON HIS WORDS OF FREEDOM TO US - TO PROCLAIM AND SPEAK OUT into the atmosphere around us,
THE PROMISES MADE IN THE BIBLE, (GO, AND FIND A PROMISE FOR EACH SITUATION AND CLAIM IT
IN JESUS NAME AND SPEAK IT OUT OVER YOUR SITUATION....:)),
and our enemies who came to us with THEIR LIES, have to flee in 7 ways before THE TRUTH OF GOD - DEUTERONOMY 28:7, SPEAK IT OUT IN TIMES OF TROUBLE!! The enemy and his demons spirits misleading, pestering and LYING to us, CANNOT stand against GOD'S WORDS!!
Father's PROMISES, Instructions and Guidelines LEAD US OUT of our Egypt/wilderness-experiences.
Jesus said: IT IS FINISHED!! to all bondage ( for PRISONERS etc...., Jesus-Fulfilled PROPHECY-WORDS in Isaiah 61:1), of sin and sickness - PROMISE and Instruction HOW to be FREE - IN EXODUS 15:26 = GOD KEEPS HIS OBEDIENT CHILDREN SAFE FROM THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT, when they COVENANT with Him = Believe in, Trust in and test out in Obedience, HIS PROMISES....(see verse below:))
IT IS A LIE from our ENEMY in THIS worldly system-of-lies (Tell-A-Lie-Vision with it's programmes-to-believe-in-lies),
the devil and his demons-to-BONDAGE, that we 'have to' suffer - like BIRDS CAUGHT in A CAGE (EZEKIEL 13, PSALMS 124 :)), a cage of sin and suffering, BUT that has been UNLOCKED by JESUS, after HE came to this world 2000yrs ago - ON THE CROSS - He did Not suffer in vain!! WE OURSELVES HAVE TO, WALK OUT .....!! IN the FREEDOM JESUS PAID FOR WITH HIS VERY LIFE
(ISAIAH 52 - STAND UP, DUST YOURSELF OFF!!), and HE DID IT with much suffering....(Isaiah 53, who BELIEVED HIS WORDS (???),
WILL EXPERIENCE HIS MIGHTY ARM/HELP - WHEN we ASK HIM to take our load, WHEN we LAY IT DOWN AT HIS FEET and ASK HIM to please deal with it,
for we can NOT.....and SEE HOW HE HELPS YOU....!!)
MATTHEW 7:7 (7 means, it is done:) and 8, says to just remember to Seek, ASK, knock, and you will FIND... up to verse 11.... ONLY God is GOOD, He gives GOOD things to those who remember to ASK HIM,..(I pray with the help of Bible words to Him also, to learn new words/ways to pray in.... Psalms especially....:)IN THE WILDERNESS, where people FORGET that our Father God, is a God of MIRACLES, GREAT MIGHT AND POWER,.....SEE GOD'S PROMISES IN EXODUS 15:26, (http://biblehub.com/esv-esv/exodus/15.htm)
24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 And he cried to the Lord,
and the Lord showed him
a log,c and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.There the Lordd made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them,
26 saying, “If you
will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in
his eyes,
and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes,
I will
put none of the diseases
on you that I put on the Egyptians,
for I am the Lord,
your healer. ” (..............I Decided to READ AND BELIEVE His Word, after I Ask Holy Spirit to lead FIRST,.... and He took away the need for previous medications - and when I ask for it, after that, also my aches and pains...because that is how I've entered into a COVENANT-RELATIONSHIP with Him - which I did not know at that time......!)
27 Then they came to Elim, (where we live with Him in a TRUST-Relationship, as our Best Friend And LORD :))
where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there
by the water.
(THE WATER OF LIFE for our thirsty SOUL - The Holy Spirit of God, John 4:14,
EPHESIANS 5:26 ....get SANCTIFIED AND CLEANSED by the WASHING of WATER, by the WORD....Read it,
Think on it, Pray about it, TALK TO GOD about it - It is Food and Drink to our SOUL -
and Not TV, worldly music and magazines, video-games,... FEEDING your soul Deadly POISON...making you RIPE for hell.... FOR YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK....in to/ through your EYES and EARS - the openings/portholes to your SOUL.)

I’m a truck driver and I’m having a really hard time today at work today because of a mistake I made yesterday by not getting enough rest and going to do other things.. so now im really worn out and frustrated.. I prayed and asked God for forgiveness for all my sins and I was listening to Overcomer before this and while I was praying this song came on and it really reminded me that God sees what I’m going through and the pain I’m feeling and that he’s going to give me strength to make it through today and reminding me that I’ll be stronger and more prepared tomorrow.. I thank God for sending this song towards my way.. it’s the uplifting positivity I needed dearly..
@ilialuke5073

@denzelnoel5345
I feel like God is speaking to us disbelievers, doubters, sinful, ashamed people. He speaks to us directly by saying these words, this truly will make us stronger. God bless Mandisa being used to glorify God through song :)
@kadie5429
