God give me strength




God give me strength
Lord give me Your strength
I feel weak and helpless right now
I'm not sure how much more I can take

God give me strength
Lord give me Your strength
For I'm running on empty right now
All my dials are at zero

Come shelter my mind in the storms
Where I'm confused flood me with light

Come shelter my heart in the storms
Where I'm weak come flood me with strength

Come lift up my spirit in the storms
Cause sadness to end and hope to rise

Cover me with Your love O Lord
Wash me in Your goodness O God

Cover me with Your love O Lord
Clean me out and help me start again
