Grace Strength

Grace is God's strength, and I have not enough,
I call on God, my strength is in His name,
but even with His grace, things are still tough,
if I don't try God's help, I am in shame.

I need God's grace, His help is my support,
without it, just who do I think I am?
Without God's strength, to Whom would I resort?
To think I'm strong alone is but a sham.

Without God's grace, a vacuum would ensue,
that other one's around who would come in;
without God's help, I'm not sure what to do,
my fallen nature now tends me to sin.

O God, Your help, Your strength, Your love, Your grace,
I cannot find in any other place.
