Strength

Come to me my Lord; grace me with your strength

For the days they become long and in the nights darkness you are my only defense

The fear that surrounds and encamps itself about my soul

Seeking to break me in the moment I lose hope

Always waiting for me to let go

Just scavengers searching and seeking from the depths they have come

They hunt for the weak but this battle you have already won

The glory of your peace to calm and slay the doubts that seem to grow

For within my heart your presence grants a strength that is not my own

Though fires have tried and burned through my heart I will not forsake your name

In the omnipotence of your presence I shout out in faith I do proclaim

That Jesus is my Lord, my King, the rock and foundation of my faith

I place his armor upon my soul and walk freely by his grace

I put on the belt of truth and with the helmet of salvation I make ready my soul

His word becomes my sword to slay the taunting doubts that seek to destroy my hope

Standing firm in his righteousness, my shield of faith I hold

And though at times I may falter and fall to the ground in pain

He is always there to help me back up whenever I call out His name

Jesus is my strength, my shepherd, my rock and my heavenly King

The foundation upon which I place my soul, my strength in everything
