I Look To Jesus For My Strength

I Look to Jesus for My Strength!
There’s been things that I’m ashamed of!
I’ve had more problems than I can speak of!

I’ve had my ups and downs and valleys to cross.
Many things I’ve gained
 and many I’ve lost!

At times, I’ve lost my focus and my desire.
As I grow weary and become very tired.

At the point where I’ve lost sense of direction…
I’m trying to give Jesus my whole attention!

I’ve come full circle when life’s crashing down.
He’s a true friend, when
 there’s none to be found.

His name is Jesus!  Need I say anything less?
I’ve found that trusting him is always the best!

He gives me the strength, when it’s needed!
With his love and hope, 
my life is completed!

He’s the one I look to!  There is no other!
He’s a friend who sticks 
closer than a brother!

Won’t you come and give him a chance?
He’ll change your life and circumstance!

He’s make you a new person 
from the inside out!
Giving you an abundant life
 is what he’s about!

Please come Lord Jesus!  
We need you this hour!
We need to be changed by your
 awesome power!
