You Give Me Strength

You Give Me Strength

I thank You, Lord.
I sing Your praise.
When I am weak,
You give me strength.

You give me strength.
You give me strength.

And when I pray
in still of night
I hear Your voice
It gives me strength.

You give me strength.
You give me strength.

I walk alone,
But You are there.
When I am scared,
You give me strength.

You give me strength.
You give me strength.

When illness comes,
And I cannot stand
You lift me up
With Your great strength.

You give me strength.
You give me strength.

I share Your love
with those in need.
It gives them hope.
I feel Your strength.

You give me strength.
You give me strength.

Beautiful

Beautiful

The rising sun is beautiful
     because it makes you smile
          which is beautiful.

The rainbow’s rays are beautiful
     because your eyes light up
          which is beautiful.

When a bird soars high, it’s beautiful
     because your spirit gasps
          which is beautiful.

When a flower blooms, it’s beautiful
     because you breathe its scent
          which is beautiful.

A newborn child is beautiful
     because your heart is filled
          which is beautiful.

How you see the world is beautiful
     because the soul within
          is beautiful.
