He is my strength – v3

He is my strength,
because I am weak.
He is the treasure
all that I seek.
He is with me,
in the storms of life
with me in times of strife.

He gave me life,
new life in him,
falling to my knees,
new life to begin.
All of my pain,
my sin, at his feet.

Left at the cross,
my soul to keep.
Lifted up, from the dead
New life in him, a new home
my brother and my friend
Hope in him, in him alone
calling me as his own

He lifted me from the pit
he raised me from the dust
giving me words to share
standing with them
in their time of need
with me ever, if I believe
