“Strong in Adversity” Song Video

Living in the real world, we all experience adversity. Often we feel overwhelmed by adversity. But we gain strength by remembering that the Holy Spirit lives in us, that we are joined with Her in divinity. Also, Ruah (Hebrew word meaning “Spirit,” “Breath,” and “Wind”) breathes Her strength into us through our faith communities.

I am, I am, I am strong in adversity;
Spirit, Spirit, joined with Her in divinity.

We are, we are, we are strong in adversity;
Ruah, Ruah gives us strength in community.
