Unstoppable

A couple of years ago, I had this idea pop into my head, and I haven't been able to get it out since.  I've put it off, thinking it's too hard and I wouldn't be able to do it.  That idea is a song.  It actually all started out when I was in the shower one day.  This line just kept repeating itself to me, and I have no idea where it came from.  "I am unstoppable when the Lord is on my side."  And I had a tune come to me as well.  But that's all that ever came.  I never tried to continue it, thinking, "I don't even know the first thing about song writing!  How in the world would I be able to do this?"  But for two years, this one line has been repeating itself over and over in my head.  Since then, I've taken only one basic music theory class.  This past Saturday, I was REALLY bored.  I have a program on my computer that lets me put in notes and it'll play it back to me.  So I sat down and started fiddling around with it.  I got the lyrics written in under an hour.  Then the tune gradually started coming.  I've got the tune completed, and am now working on the accompaniment part, which is a lot slower coming.  But it IS coming!   I only have the first page completed.  And so far, it's into six pages.  But I know that I'm not doing this on my own.  I truly believe that this idea has come from the Lord through inspiration.  And the words were definitely inspired!  There's no way I could have written them all in under an hour by myself!  So I'm getting this task completed.  I feel like I was called to do it.  Just as the lyrics go, "I am unstoppable when the Lord is on my side.  I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."  So here goes nothing!  Here's the lyrics.  Any ideas?


Unstoppable:

This task is hard
Which He has sent me here to do
With all the trouble around me
How am I supposed to do His will?
I try to be strong
I try to be brave
But life pulls me down
How can I press on?

But I know
I am unstoppable when the Lord is on my side
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me
If I have faith and turn to Him
He will guide me in my path

At times I’m scared
And I don’t know what to do
But we all have trials
We’re not in this alone
I am weak
I am a sinner
And life pulls me down
I start to lose my way.

And then I remember
I am unstoppable when the Lord is on my side
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me
If I have faith and turn to Him
He will guide me in my path

Life is never perfect
We are hurt by the ones we love the most
The pathway seems dark and dreary
At times you might think,
“I can’t go on.
I can’t believe anymore.”
And life pulls you down
And you start to lose your way.

But please remember
You are unstoppable when the Lord is on your side
You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you
If you have faith and turn to Him
He will guide you in your path

There is a plan
Set for each and every one of us
There will be bumps along the way
But there must be opposition in all things
Let’s try to be strong
Let’s try to be brave
Life will pull us down
But we can press on!

Because
We are unstoppable when the Lord is on our side
We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us
If we have faith and turn to Him
He will guide us on our paths.

We are unstoppable!
