Strengthen Us Poem by WENDELL A. BROWN

Strengthen our spirits Lord with Your love
Increase the seeds of faith which live within
Help us in our lives to overcome adversity
In our daily battle with sin allow us to win

Unlock the deep vault of our heart's faith
That was placed within our lives by only you
Pick us up lord and please make us clean
Guide us in all the good things we should do

Do not let the sworn enemy overwhelm us
For we are now protected by your holy hands
But lift us up on your solid rock of grace
So in our lives against sin we may stand

For you are the one who first loved us
In that time long ago before we were born
Always lifting us up in your loving embrace
So we no longer taste of the enemies scorn

For we are children of the one living God
The eternal One whose power never fades
And each morning we will always pray to you
That in our lives your spirit daily stays.
