My Strength

God helps each one of us in His own way,
"My strength is in the Lord," what David prayed,
"Who made the earth and heaven," is true today,
just as God strengthened him, He gives us aid.
When David slew Goliath with the sword,
He put His trust in God, Who made him brave,
his faith and strength and courage from the Lord
saved him, and now us too the Lord can save.
King Saul drew peace and grace from David's psalms,
they healed the king's depression and his fear,
my own soul now King David's singing calms,
I too can sing, O God, and bring You near.
O Lord, You are my strength and destiny,
please give Your gentle strength and grace to me.
