The source of my strength

they've been days I could hardly function 
days I could barely cope 
but Jesus, the source of my strength always gives me a measure of Hope 

for He provides me the energy to carry forth in life
the grace and the mercy to overcome 
any and all strife 
Jesus who is the source of my strength 
because for me He gave his last breath 

the power of His Spirit in me has transformed 
The strength of His love for me 
continuously conforms 
I now give Him total praise 
my hands to Him are forever raised 

for He provides me the energy to carry forth in life 
the grace and the mercy to overcome 
any and all strife 
Jesus who is the source of my strength 
Because for me He gave His breath

Jesus wants to lighten our load 
to eliminate our despair 
He wants to take up our yoke 
and give us a life free and fair
to engage in a discipleship so that we can learn 
to be obedient and better able to spiritually discern 

Jesus the source of my strength. 
my Help and my Savior 
my unlimited power supply who always 
gives me unlimited favor 

for He provides me the energy to carry forth in life
the grace and the mercy to overcome 
any and all strife
Jesus who is the source of my strength
because for me He gave His last breath 

The strength of His love for me 
continuously conforms 
because the power of His Spirit in me has transformed 

Jesus the source of my strength, 
my unlimited power supply 
who made the ultimate sacrifice
for me He did die

Jesus the source of my strength 
My unlimited power supply 
Who made the ultimate sacrifice 
and for me He gave his life
