a spirit of strength

a spirit of strength God gives us
to stand in the breach
with there with Jesus
more sinners to reach

Offering our witness
given words to share
sharing God’s goodness
his promise to be here

To be with us in the trials
to redeem our brokenness
to carry us to glory
into His arms of love

Wanting us to go
to be his hands and feet
to give as we are given
trust in him for our needs
