The Power Within

This song came on as I was jogging this morning.  I had to play it back again.  I love the lyrics!  Do we realize that we can call on this power, invite it into our hearts, our homes,our relationships, and our lives?  This is incredible!  How could we ever fear or cower when we know that no matter what comes our way, we have THIS power to draw from, to speak with, to call down, if we only ask?! What is this power?  It's the Spirit of God.  To me, it is also the power of the priesthood for that is how He operates. And with Him there is nothing we can't do.  I don't just believe this, I know this!!!

"Same Power"

by, Jeremy Camp

I can see 

Waters raging at my feet 

I can feel 

The breath of those surrounding me 

I can hear 

The sound of nations rising up 

We will not be overtaken 

We will not be overcome 

I can walk 

Down this dark and painful road 

I can face 

Every fear of the unknown 

I can hear 

All God’s children singing out 

We will not be overtaken 

We will not be overcome

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave 

The same power that commands the dead to wake 

Lives in us, lives in us 

The same power that moves mountains when He speaks 

The same power that can calm a raging sea 

Lives in us, lives in us 

He lives in us, lives in us

We have hope 

That His promises are true 

In His strength 

There is nothing we can’t do 

Yes, we know 

There are greater things in store 

We will not be overtaken 

We will not be overcome 

Greater is He that is living in me 

He’s conquered our enemy 

No power of darkness 

No weapon prevails 

We stand here in victory

"If we are going to do our duty, we are going to need the powers of heaven. And if we are going to be given access to the powers of heaven, we are going to have to learn to wait upon the Lord....you can bring the protective powers of heaven down on you by simply deciding to go toward the Savior, to wait on him... It will be hard to see the powers of heaven magnifying us or our efforts. It may even be hard to see our work being of any value at all. And sometimes our work won’t go well... But...if you pray, and if you choose to be clean, and if you choose to follow God’s servants, you will be able to work and wait long enough to bring down the powers of heaven."
