The Lord is My Strength

The Lord is my strength; my salvation; my song.
I have been with Him; my time with Him shall be long.
I give my heart and soul to this Savior; of us all.
When our life here is over, Jesus will come to call.

I remember when I went to Him; in faith and love.
I knew then that He was the Savior from up above.
It was in a little country town, at our church that night.
I knew Jesus when my heart felt true, to the sweetest light.

I have never left Him for long; I knew I must stay.
I knew I wished to be there in Heaven; with Him one day.
I would surely try to follow in His footsteps, that night,
I looked at the Heavens; I saw the moon and stars bright.

I knew His power was mighty; His forgiveness true.
Thus, I trusted Him, and I knew He truly loved me too.
He healed me from a dread disease, that made my body pain.
I spread the word and told every friend to trust and gain.

He is still my strength; body and soul; today and tomorrow
I can always go to Him when I am filled with sorrow.
He is coming again one sweet day; in a cloud of white.
Let Him forever be your strength; every day and night.
