In His Strength

Help me to use wisely
O Lord Father I pray
the strength that you give
to me from day to day.

Trusting in You daily
in all I do and say,
Your strength is sufficient 
for me in every way.

Lord help me to love
and always honor you
being ever the witness
to gladly glorify You.

For my life is an epistle,
seen and read of all men.
They may never see the Word
that is written for them in pen.

Lord, impart your strength now
for the work which yet remains,
that I may ever help others
to seek eternal gains.

This is a message that most Christians need to cling to. I think we forget that we are supposed to be the light in the world to direct them towards the Light. Well deserved feature.
