Christian artist Hillsong Worship plays a song called “Stronger.” It isn’t bombastic and rocking, but reflective and beautiful. It focuses on the death and resurrection of Jesus, his greatest weakness that became his greatest strength.
And ours.
Spend some time with this song over the weekend. The lyrics are below. https://youtu.be/G7YdtfjMAIc.
There is Love
That came for us
Humbled to a sinner’s cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious
Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm
And through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me
You are stronger
You are stronger
Sin is broken
You have saved me
It is written
Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all
No beginning and no end
You’re my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross
So let Your Name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Be lifted higher

Prayer
You make me strong, Jesus, by your death and resurrection. I want worldly power but you give me something stronger, in you. Show your strength to me, even in times of weakness and doubt. Strengthen me so that I can show you to others. Amen.
Further Meditation
Just set aside 20 minutes. Watch the song video. Reflect on the lyrics. Slow down and let the Spirit of Jesus work on your soul. Meditate in prayer, and have a blessed weekend!
