Not By Your
Strength
by
Barbara Philbrook
Not by your
strength, not standing on your own,
but by the grace of God is what we've been shown.
God does not
expect you to give up or cave in,
instead He wants you to lean on Him.
Bring Him your
burden and leave it there.
He is waiting to recieve it, He really does care.
Though you may
not feel His presence it can be known.
The truth of this the Bible has shown.
We are told that
during trials and adversity,
God is perfecting our character you see.
We know not
which troubles we'll face each day,
but we can determine to do it in a dignified way.
Not wasting time
to worry or fret,
because God is our strength on this we can bet.
So adjust your
makeup, put on a smile,
let's give God the glory as we go that extra mile.
Not by your
strength nor your might,
but with songs of praise that fill the night.
