Still Able
James Fortune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many times in life we focus on all we don't have
And it makes us worry
But today I want to remind you
Of the one that you do have
And let you know
That He's still able

I've been hurt and abused
Even lied to by the ones I trusted most
I've had some nights I cried more than I prayed
That's when God said to me
I am still in control
It changed my prospective, and so

Now the worry is over (yes)
And the doubt is gone away
God reminded me (He reminded me)
That he's still able
God reminded me (that in spite of it all)
That he's still able

Thank you Lord
There are some days
I feel like giving up, and I wonder
How could God love me and let me go through so much?
Anyone would asked that question

I'm afraid to carry this hurt all alone
Today more than ever
I need your help Lord
With you I can move on (move on)

Now the worry is over
And the doubt is gone away (you're not alone)
Now the worry is over
And the doubt is gone away
Lift your hands and say
Now the worry is over
Thank you Jesus
And the doubt is gone

God reminded me, you can't forget
That He's still able
I was about to give up
God reminded me, he reminded me
That He's still able

But it's not easy because
Sometimes it's seems (oh God)
There's no way out
You're surrounded by problems
So many problems weigh, they weigh you down
You down, (but He cares for you)

You've got to know (my sister) He cares (my brother)
And he wouldn't, leave you there (not for long)
For long
So right now I just need you to
Be strong
And remember that

God is able
He's able
Able
He hasn't changed
He's still able, able
Seems like problems waiting in line just for you

God is able, (He's able) able
You say I've never faced anything like this before
He still able, able
The odds are still in your favor because

God is able (when you planned it your way) able
And it hasn't gotten better (able)
Remember god is still
He's still able
In the midst of your storm (able)
In the midst of your struggle (able)

It's good to know that
God is able
In the hospital (able) in the court house (able)
Even in your house, believe
He's still able
You can't give up (able)
The story is not over (able)

God will provide (God is)
What ever you need (everything)
If they walk out on you (that you need)
If they never come back (everything)
If they don't support you (that you need)
He sees your tears (everything)

God knows your pains (that you need)
If you are sick in your body (everything)
He's the God that heals (that you need)
If you lose your job (everything)
And you can't pay your bills (that you need)

No food on the table (everything)
I know he's able (that you need)
You can wipe your tears (everything)
'Cause he's everything (that you need)
That you need

(And so now, the worry) that the worry is over
I can weigh the doubt away (I was at my lowest point when God)
God reminded me, that he is still able

I know I can make it because
God reminded me




That he is still able
That he is still able
