My Lord, My Strength

Woke up one morning with a tear in my eye,
         for all the pain and suffering 
         that had passed me on by.   
         Then I sat up and thought how Jesus
         had suffered mine ten fold,
         his ultimate sacrifice for me,
         his ever present love worth more than gold.
         I knew then I could turn to him night or day,
         reach out to him with open arms and pray.
         He is my Lord and Savior - for me evermore,
         He can be my strength, what I had
         not realized before. 

                                         Message:
        Life has many challenges, good and bad.
        When you might feel nobody cares,
        there is one that always will,
        that is the Good Lord, Jesus Christ.
