I Am Strong: I Ask- God Gives

I Am Strong: I Ask… God Gives Spellbound? I need strength… When charmed by the wiles of my own imagination. And I like a puppy chasing his own tail, need direction. I ask God for strength. Fearful? I need strength… When fear of the unknown attacks my confidence. And I like a lamb in a lions, den need courage. I ask God for Strength. Tempted? I need strength… When worldly ways test my moral fiber disguised as rapture. And I like a wind tattered bird need to make the right choice. I ask God for strength. Coerced? I need strength… When forces beyond my control seek to bully me. And I like shivering abandoned fawns need might. I ask God for strength. Scorned? I need strength… When ridicule overpowers my fragile heart. And I, like a frail orchid falling, need help. I ask God for strength. Strength? I need strength… When everyday that I live sin is against me. And I know faith is walking through life with me… I ask God for strength. …and God Gives Abundantly. © © Dane Smith-Johnsen February 1, 2010 Poetic form: Lyrical
