'Strength Through the Tears', by Krystal Dawn Land - Finding Hope In God's Strength
By, Nico Zwaneveld - Enriching faith with music. ✝️ Published author and global Dutchman who has returned home. Published in Christian Music Today & ChristianDance.eu
Krystal Dawn Land's song 'Strength Through the Tears' is inspired by Psalm 56:8, where it says, "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."
Krystal shares from her own experiences that God sees every tear, and even more important, He cares deeply about us as we go through life's ups and downs. We're especially vulnerable when we're going through difficult times, because that's when it's easy to drift away from God's path. Krystal's solution is to call out to the Lord to help her find the strength she needs in Him. She sings, "I've been walking this road for so long, carrying such a heavy load, trying to do it on my own," echoing what is probably one of our biggest weaknesses… an ego that says, "We can do it", altogether skipping the part where we should be saying, "We can do it with your help!"
Krystal beautifully directs our focus back to the peace and strength that we can only find in God's embrace, "Through the cries, through the tears, I find strength even when my heart feels fear. In Your arms, I find peace."
Even when we feel that we are drowning in fear and darkness, it is God who can give us strength… if you let God help you and take the lead.
If you've been feeling alone or overwhelmed, give this song a listen. May 'Strength Through the Tears' encourage you to say, "God, give me strength", stay close to Him, trust His plan, and lean into His strength. Experience the promise that God is right there for you, offering you His peace and strength.
