Hey, heard you were up all night
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
It's gonna end
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
And 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

'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
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger

    This song and the prayers of so many people have gotten me through some of the darkest days of my life to date. She could not have written and sang those words unless she had lived through it herself with such passion. Thank you for your faith and courage!

    This is the direction we need to go when things are complicated and more than we think we can take. Trust in HIM and things can only get better.

    I woke up this morning and went to bed last night with the phrase "it will only make you stronger" or "He will only make you stronger"! It was from this song, and I believe a message to me from God! What we are going thru right now, God's only going to make my marriage "stronger", and my little family bond "stronger"....I thank the Lord for the message thru this song! "Stronger" would be my word for this day and weekend!
