Grant me strength, Dear Lord, I pray,

Control my life, don't let me stray.

When I feel angered, help me see,

That I can place my trust in Thee.

 

When I feel I'm sinking low,

Hold me, Lord, don't let go.

Don't let Satan have his way,

For I know he'd lead me astray.

 

Make me strong when I feel weak,

Let my ears listen when You speak.

Let not my faith diminish in Thee,

But save my soul and set me free.

 

Forgive me when I start to doubt

What faith and trust are all about.

Hold me Lord, in the darkest night,

Take away my fear and fright.

 

May Your voice be one, I always hear,

Saying to me, "I'm always near".

"I'll walk with you and guide you well,

But you My child, must not rebel".

 

Lord, I love you, forgive my fears,

Please dry my eyes from all these tears.

May I always place my trust in You,

Remembering, Lord, You've always been true.
