STRENGTH

I’ve heard it time and time again, and I’d like to clarify
My strength is not my own, please let me verify
For I am incapable of holding it together
It’s Jesus who comes and enters the stormy weather

Strength for me has been redefined
A battle fought tirelessly, all within my mind
As a man thinks in his heart, so Is he
If I tread upon my own thoughts, I’m not sure where I’d be

Truth is my guiding light
His eternal Word restoring my sight
His grace is sufficient, he will carry me through
I’ve seen it time and time again, my soul knows its true

Though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon his shoulders
His grace abounds abundantly, for his wounded soldiers

When you look at the tragedies, sorrow and grief
Know that he holds me together, it’s his strength that I seek
My life is not a testament of how strong that I am
It’s a story of his strength when I don’t understand

While it may seem to you that I’m walking alone
There’s one who walks beside me, making his glory shown
Until the day he calls me home, he will continue to be
My strength, my comforter, the blessed trinity
