“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”
“Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were recorded in a book! That with an iron stylus and lead. They were engraved in the rock forever! Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last, He will take His stand on the [d]earth. Even after my skin [e]is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I will see God, Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself, And whom my eyes will see, and not another. My heart faints within me!”
