I think you ought to know, dear brothers, about the hard time we went through in Asia. We were really crushed and overwhelmed, and feared we would never live through it.  We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves; but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God, who alone could save us, for he can even raise the dead.  And he did help us and saved us from a terrible death; yes, and we expect him to do it again and again. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:8-10

Broken and tired
Holding on for dear life
My only hope is the Father
Who delivers from strife.

Broken and fading
Strength nearly gone
My only hope is my Savior
Whom my salvation rests upon.

Broken and faithful
Take courage and endure
My Lord will not forsake
My future is secure.
