He Brings Me Through
I love You, Jesus, for You truly save,
not only from the darkness of the grave,
but through ten thousand deaths that line my way,
the fears and losses I meet from day to day.
Lord, You meet me when my own strength fails,
when sorrow deepens or when terror assails;
with body, soul, and mind pressed down and worn,
You are the Morning Star who brings my morn.
Again and again Your Word brings me through:
through fear and grief to trust and courage true,
through weakness into strength I never knew,
through shattered hours made whole again in You.
For even this poor body, frail and weak,
worn by pain, brought low, and rendered meek,
I am not abandoned to the dust alone,
nor left to perish as though I were unknown.
All I have lived in weakness here with You
has given my lowly life deep meaning too;
the flesh that suffers shall yet be raised new,
and dust shall shine in glory, praise, and truth.
Within my perishing I received Your holy flame,
the broken parts in me made whole again;
and all my lifetime carried as its loss
is transformed by the work You did upon the cross.
I know all shall be wondrously reversed:
the last, the lowly, and rejected lifted first;
the poor in me filled full with heaven’s store,
the meek in me receiving evermore.
Where I mourned, I am already joined to song;
my hunger filled, though waiting in me suffered long.
Being merciful receives goodness from above;
made pure in heart, I meet the One who spoke in love.
As a peacemaker I may shine, a child of light;
where struck down for truth, I shall awake in light.
What here I called sorrow, shame, or loss
He has transfigured in me through the cross.
Laying down my life has proven to be my gain;
what seemed but passing shall not pass in vain.
What here was small and wounded, cast aside,
shall stand in splendour at Your wounded side.
For in Your Kingdom all in me is turned to right:
my inner death swallowed up by resurrection light,
years of sorrow undone by joy that has no end,
weakness raised to power through Christ my Friend.
So You save me now, as You saved me then;
You keep me through my loss and raise me yet again.
Through ten thousand deaths You lead me on,
until my night gives way to Your endless dawn.
That is why I love You, my Lord above:
because Your saving reaches all of me in love,
sustaining my body through time and pain,
Your death has brought my life to eternal reign.
