Rise up, sweet child, and sing,
For the victory I will bring.
Like a rising tide within,
I wash you free from the bindings of sin.
Where once was naught but gloom and self-despair,
I plant a garden of faith, power, praise and prayer.
Though you have walked the valley of death and worldly care.
Wondrous lessons have you learned there:
That I love you,
That My Word is true,
That there is naught that your flesh can do.
Still, all things are possible in Me through you.

for some reason that looks familiar. Where did you get it from?

Rising Above: para 132

133: (My soul replies to God:)
You are become my hope,
My high tower,
My strength,
My refuge,
The lifter up of my head,
The Source of all my power.
When I seem to fall and die,
From ashes I rise and fly.
With man such things can't be done, dear Love,
But in You is the secret of rising above.
