Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.
James 1:12 MSG
Selah Soul – “Life and More Life (James 1:12)” by Wendy Merritt
Verse 1
Sheโs been through some things
storms that didnโt just pass,
they pushed.
She held her breath
when life got loud,
when prayers felt heavy
and answers felt far.
But she didnโt bow out.
She stayed.
Held her line in the valley.
Didnโt need applause to be powerful.
Sheโs got prayerful courage.
Chorus
“Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on
And manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate.
For such persons loyally in love with God,
The reward is life and more life.”
Verse 2
Sheโs walked through fire in Sunday shoes,
smiled through tears,
praised with a cracked voice.
Sheโs not here by luck
sheโs here by grace.
Built on prayer,
bruised by life,
but never bowed to bitterness.
She doesnโt just survive
she believes.
She doesnโt just keep going
she grows.
Chorus
“Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on
And manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate.
For such persons loyally in love with God,
The reward is life and more life.”

Final Chorus
“Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on
And manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate.
For such persons loyally in love with God,
The reward is life and more life.”
More lifeโฆ after the stormโฆ
More loveโฆ in every scarโฆ
Mighty fortunateโฆ thatโs me.
I’m still here. Still rising. Still His.
He promised lifeโฆ and more lifeโฆ
