The bible tells us in Luke 4 that after Jesus was tempted in the desert, He came out preaching with boldness and authority. As God continues to meet me in this desert experience, there is one song that has been God’s healing voice to me. May the lyrics bless you.
Encourage Yourself, by Donald Lawrence
(feat. Sheri Jones-Moffett)
[Verse 1:]
Sometimes you have to encourage yourself.
Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test.
And no matter how you feel,
speak the word and you will be healed;
speak over yourself,
encourage yourself in the Lord.
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes you have to speak the word over yourself,
the pressure is all around,
but God is present help.
The enemy created walls,
but remember giants, they do fall;
speak over yourself,
encourage yourself in the Lord.
[Bridge:]
As I minister to you, oh I minister to myself,
life can hurt you so,
’til you feel there’s nothing left.
(No matter how you feel),
(speak the word and you will be healed).
[Vamp 1:]
Speak over yourself. [x4]
[Vamp 2:]
I’m encouraged.
I’m encouraged.
I’m encouraged.
I’m encouraged.
[Vamp 3:]
I’m encouraged,
I’m encouraged,
I’m encouraged,
I’m encouraged.
[Vamp 2]
[Vamp 3]
[Vamp 2]
[Ending:]
(Speak over yourself),
(encourage yourself in the Lord)
