[D] I want to send a message [F#m] of encouragement to all those who've been affected by the recent
[D] storms and tornadoes that have devastated many [A] parts of the country.
My [E] heart's broken [A] as I've watched the footage on the news.
I've seen people [C#] searching for loved ones, families [A] standing in what used to be their
homes just wondering how they're going to put the pieces of [E] their lives back together.
[A] As I've watched the news, it's served as [F#] a humbling [C#] reminder even to me that [A] there are
those moments in our lives that bring us to our knees.
They remind us that no [E] matter how much we'd like to think we're in control, we simply
are not the ones in [C#] control of our lives.
Which begs the question, who is?
[A] I believe that there is one who's in control of all things, even when our worlds feel like
they're spinning out of control.
God is with us.
And so I hope [F#] you can be [C#] comforted and encouraged in knowing that as you [A] face the impossible
mountain of trying to put your lives and your [E] families and your communities back together,
there is one who will be with you every step of the way.
[F#m] Philippians 4.13. is a verse from the Bible that [A] has brought me great strength [D] during my own adversity. [A] It says I can do all things not [D] on our own strength, but through Christ who gives [F#] me strength. You and I, we're not strong enough. [E] But it's okay. We don't have to be. God [B] promises to be strong enough [A] for us. We could hear all the debris, [D] the breaking, the roar, all [F#m] of the mess that was going on outside. [D] And when we came out, [A] it was just another experience. You must, you must think I'm strong [F#] to give me [A] what I'm going through. Well, forgive me. [D] Forgive me if I'm wrong. [F#m] This looks like more [E] than I can do [Bm] on my own. [A] I know I'm not strong enough to [D] be everything that I'm supposed [F#m] to be. I give up. [D] I'm not strong enough. [A] Hands of mercy, won't you cover [D] me? Lord, right now I'm asking you [F#m] to be strong enough, [E] strong enough [A] for the poor of my [D] land. [F#m] [D] I can't get back home right now. [A] I can't even go [A] back home. Well, maybe, [D] maybe that's the point, [F#] [F#m] to reach the [D] point of giving up. [A] Cause when I'm finally, [D] finally at rock bottom, [F#m] well that's when I start [E] looking up [Bm] and reaching out. [A] I know I'm not strong enough to [D] be everything that I'm supposed to [F#m] be. I give up. [D] I'm not strong enough. [A] Hands of mercy, won't you cover [D] me? Lord, right now I'm asking you to [F#m] be strong enough, [E] strong enough. Cause [D] I'm broken, down to nothing, [A] oiled steel holding on to [D] the one thing. You are [F#m] God and you are strong and [D] I am weak. [A] I can do [E] all things through [A] Christ who gives me [D] strength. I [F#m] don't have to [E] be strong [A] enough, strong [D] enough. I can do [A] all things through [E] Christ who gives me [B] strength. I don't have to be strong [F#] [A] enough, strong enough. [D] I'm [Em] [A] [D]

not strong enough [D] to be everything that I'm supposed to [F#m] be. I give up. I'm [D] not strong [A] enough. Hands of mercy, won't you cover [D] me?

[A] Lord God, please protect this family and protect everybody in this community as they continue to clean everything up. [E] In the days and weeks ahead, the news headlines may change. [B] We may [F#] hear less and less about the families and towns and cities that have been struck by these tornadoes. But the [A] need is still great. I want to encourage you to visit SamaritansPurse [Em].org to find out how you can get involved, [E] how you can help, and how you can [B] make a difference.
