My Strength

Every step I take inside this valley Makes me long for water and for rest As I walk beneath the mountains shadow I look up and know that I am blest For you are the living waters And you, every burden bear for me Jesus with out you I would lay down For you are my strength when I am weak Yes you shine a light in darkness And you break these chains holding me Jesus your name grants me power For you are my strength when I am weak Every time I fall along the wayside Your hand is there reaching out for me Not only to show me the right way You forgive the wrong and give me eyes to see And this is my promise, this is my covenant When I finally reach the mountain top Your name I'll praise for the help that you sent And if this climb seems to be too long I will not give up... for when I'm weak you are strong! For you are the living waters And you, every burden bear for me Jesus with out you I would lay down For you are my strength when I am weak Yes you shine a light in darkness And you break these chains holding me Jesus your name grants me power For you are my strength when I am weak Cast away the darkness ore me Let me say they hold me no more Heal this sickness no one else sees Guide me safely to the threshing floor Fill me with the light of your Spirit Grant me the keys to understand your word In my hands you place your power inherent Your name, the sweetest sound ever heard Yes you're all I'll ever need For you are my strength when I am weak For you are the living waters And you, every burden bear for me Jesus with out you i would lay down For you are my strength when I am weak Yes you shine a light in darkness And you break these chains holding me Jesus your name grants me power For you are my strength when I am weak

Dear Crystol, YEAH! I am the first one to read. I love devotional poems and yours is such a beautiful testament to faith and trust in Jesus. I truly love your imagery of the valley, the mountains, and the living waters, which carries a sense of struggle and salvation. I also love your repetition of His power and light breaking through darkness and the promise of strength even in weakness. Truly, your words speak eloquently of a love that never fails. A FAV!! Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
