I Used To Run Around

The second song that my sons and I chose for the Children's Spring Retreat is "Yes We Can" by Me in Motion.




Here are the lyrics to this song:

I used to run around, round, round, round,
So lost in all of my doubt, doubt, doubt,
How is it possible to stay true,
When the whole world's coming up against you?
But could it be,
That the Spirit in you and me,
Is the very thing that let's us say . . .

Yes we can!
And it's the reason that we raise our hands,
And when we fall we're getting up again!
So when they say we'll never make it,
Tell 'em, tell 'em, again . . .
Yes we can!

So take a look around, round, round, round,
So many people knocked down, down, down,
Now if you're moving and help somebody stand up,
Cuz on our own,
We are headed down a dead end road,
But our God is with us so we say . . .

So if you think you can't take it,
And if you're feeling alone,
Together we can face it!
So here we go (so here we go)
So here we go (so here we go)
We'll let 'em know (we'll let 'em know)
We'll let whole world know!

Don't let 'em say that we're too young.
Don't let, 'em say that we're too weak.
Don't let 'em say that we can't do it.

I like this song because it will encourage the children that they can be strong in God because God will give each of us the strength to live for Him and be a testimony of His great love to those around us.

The Bible says that we will be able to stand on top of the highest mountain with the sure-footedness of a deer; that God will train our hands for battle, which takes place when we study His Word faithfully and establish a personal and intimate relationship with Him; and that God will strengthen our arms to draw a bronze bow, which He does through the power and might of His Holy Spirit. Age makes no difference in the intensity of our strength because the strength comes from God, not man.

"God arms me with strength,
and He makes my way perfect.
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
He strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow."
Psalm 18:32-34 (NLT)
