Stronger Than the Shadows

I spent so many nights fighting in the dark

Trying to hold together this broken heart

The weight on my chest felt too heavy to bear

I cried out in silence, wondering if You were there

Fear kept telling me I’d never be enough

Depression whispered lies when life got rough

But through every tear and every sleepless night

You never left my side, You were my light

When I was weak, You carried me

When I couldn’t stand, You lifted me

‘Cause You make me stronger than the shadows

Stronger than the voices in my head

Anxiety may knock on my door

But it doesn’t own me anymore

The chains may rattle, but they can’t hold me down

You’ve turned my mourning into victory now

Depression lost the battle when You set me free

I’m weak on my own, but You’re strong in me

The storm still comes and the waves still rise

But now I see them through different eyes

What once was a prison is a testimony

Of how Your grace kept reaching for me

The scars remain, but they tell the truth

Of a faithful God who carried me through

Every mountain, every valley low

You’ve been the strength I’ve come to know

When I was weak, You carried me

When I couldn’t stand, You lifted me

‘Cause You make me stronger than the shadows

Stronger than the voices in my head

Anxiety may knock on my door

But it doesn’t own me anymore

The chains may rattle, but they can’t hold me down

You’ve turned my mourning into victory now

Depression lost the battle when You set me free

I’m weak on my own, but You’re strong in me

Your power shines through my weakness

Your love breaks every chain

The enemy thought he’d steal my story

But You redeemed my pain

I am not my fear

I am not my past

I belong to Jesus

And His promises will last

You make me stronger than the shadows

Stronger than the darkness I have known

Anxiety and depression may come around

But they’ll never take Your ground

I’m standing firm on the Rock of Ages

Turning broken chapters into praises

This is my testimony for all to see

I’m weak on my own, but You’re strong in me

When I am weak, then I am strong

You’ve been my strength all along

No fear, no darkness, no enemy

Can take away the victory You’ve given me
