I Am Strong: I Ask- God Gives
I Am Strong: I Ask… God Gives
Spellbound? I need strength…
When charmed by the wiles of my own imagination.
And I like a puppy chasing his own tail, need direction.
I ask God for strength.
Fearful? I need strength…
When fear of the unknown attacks my confidence.
And I like a lamb in a lions, den need courage.
I ask God for Strength.
Tempted? I need strength…
When worldly ways test my moral fiber disguised as rapture.
And I like a wind tattered bird need to make the right choice.
I ask God for strength.
Coerced? I need strength…
When forces beyond my control seek to bully me.
And I like shivering abandoned fawns need might.
I ask God for strength.
Scorned? I need strength…
When ridicule overpowers my fragile heart.
And I, like a frail orchid falling, need help.
I ask God for strength.
Strength? I need strength…
When everyday that I live sin is against me.
And I know faith is walking through life with me…
I ask God for strength.
…and God Gives Abundantly.
