Strength Beyond My Own

I blogged earlier about my bout with depression.  Towards the end of that summer, when it started, I was starting to come out of the fog a little.  All of the singles in my ward, who were home from college for the summer, decided to go to the new Fresno temple to do baptisms.  It was a healing place to be, especially during that time.  I remember as I sat by the font thinking of the lyrics of the song, "Strength Beyond My Own".  How often do we need strength beyond our own in this life?  I know I did more than anything at that time. I remember the light shining in through the windows of the baptistry, just like the lyrics of the song.  I love that song.  It's always been a favorite of mine.

Today has been a kind of blah day.  I can't exactly put my finger on why...it just has.  Tomorrow will be better I know it!  I'm going to an evening session at the temple and am excited about that.  My soul needs it.  Just the thought of it lifts me a little. :)

Strength Beyond My Own

Heaven’s light flows through the windows,
warming even walls of stone.
In the refuge of the temple
I find strength beyond my own.
Chorus
I can feel the power of Heaven as I stand on holy ground,
And the spirit whispers what I long to learn.
Eyes are touched with  understanding
I can see beyond this world.
It’s the place I reach for Heaven and it reaches in return.

Filled with purpose, filled with power,
Granted gifts to lift the world.
In God’s house and in his presence I am filled with strength to serve.


Here is the link to the song.
