Lyrics: Like peering through a window, blurred with rain, Emotions run together in a flood of doubt and pain... We prayed as best we can; now we must leave it in His hands. Yet I know when my eyes fail to see - He is able. Even though it seems impossible to me - He is able. But if He chooses not to move in the way we prayed He would, confident He's working all together for my good, I will stand behind His Word for He is able. The question seemed to haunt you night and day... How could God allow your heart to be torn this way? Does He listen when you call or is He even there at all? Yet I know when our eyes fail to see, He is able. Even though it seems impossible to me, He is able. But if He chooses not to move in the way we prayed He would, confident He's working all together for my good, I will stand behind His Word for He is able (He is able). And as the night turns into dawning and evaporates the way, I stand to face another day, And I stand behind His Word for He is able He is able He's able! Lyrics shared in memory of my mother, Barbara Jean Clark Nash, whose Christian testimony fits right in with the heroes of Hebrews 11. Although she succumbed to breast cancer on January 12, 2014, her faith remained strong, her love evident and her spirit beautiful. This song ministered to us at the funeral. Mom never heard it but it was as if she was speaking to us from the grave... saying don't let the devil steal your joy, your faith... Yes, I'm still grieving, nearly a year later listening to this song and crying my eyes out but not in despair....I HAVE THIS HOPE, that though (she) we sleep for a minute, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, Jesus is coming back for His beloved. This flesh, wasted and gutted by triple negative breast cancer, will put on immortality... there will be no more sickness, sorrow, pain or death. This song reminds me to look at the bigger picture. See what God is doing. Acknowledge His sovereignty and let Him comfort you with the knowledge that He (Jesus) has been there. Our High Priest can commiserate and comfort. All I want is to live a life of service, pleasing to God. I want to see Him coming in the sky and know that I'm covered by His blood. I want to thank Him for His plan of redemption and life of forgiveness and sacrifice and then... I want to see my mother. I want to be reunited with everyone I know on Earth. This song helps me focus. I didn't mean to make this so long but I hope the lyrics are a blessing to you also. Good night.
I wish he could sing in Spanish, I do not know anybody with such beautiful voice and devoted to our precious Lord. Please help me pray for my brother Miguel Angel, he is sick and doesnt know Jesus as his savor.
He has one of the loveliest, most mellow voices doesn't he - and a beautiful smile.Such a genuine man with an incredible ministry. What a blessing this song is.
I've listened to Wintley's music since I was a child. From songs like "I Give You My Life", "I Choose You Again", and "Just Ordinary People"; when he had hair, to songs of today. Of all the songs he has sung, this one is by far my favorite of all time.
When you ever feel like you're really going through a hard time with "anything"....this song gets you through.......I first heard this song back in 1992!
No one has ever moved me spritually. I thank god for Wintley. I pray that god will continue to bless him to move others spiritually as he did with me. What a gift.
our fight is not against people on earth, we are fighting against the rulers and authorities and powers of this world..... however there is a risen God in our Lord Jesus Christ WHO IS ABLE and willing to save us all.
But if He chooses not to move in the way we prayed he would CONFIDENT He's working all together for my good I will STAND! behind His word. Praise God!!!
There are many things that are important to me and one of them is the reminder in the words of this song that God is able. Time over time we doubt and when we do, stress and pressure seem to permeate even our sleep. How reassuring it is to know that when night gives way to dawning and evaporates the way, we stand to face another day because He is able! Thanks for sharing!
Oh MR. W P...wowww just heard this song..Cannot stop playing it....take a seat back and Listen to the words...Your voice is so powerful...no one can sing this song and make it seems to glorious......God have sure BLESS you .
Amazing voice and very inspiration!! I see this was on the Oprah show long time ago huh? Strange how now Oprah is pushing beliefs that are against he TRUTH.
This song stands the test of time. I heard this on WJOU-Oakwood University Radio this morning and had to listen to it again. Wintley Phipps is one of my favorite gospel artist. Be blessed in your ministry. Praise God.
