When I can't bear to get out of bed,
and I have no strength to lift my head
When I feel so tired I can't get through,
That is when I turn to You.
You give me strength when I am weak,
You help me find the right words to speak,
You lift me up every time I fall
With You, Lord, I again stand tall.
When I am frustrated with my platoon,
And I can't stand the people in my room,
When I'm so angry I don't know what to do,
That is when I turn to You.
You give me strength when I am weak,
You help me find the right words to speak,
You lift me up every time I fall
With You, Lord, I again stand tall.
When I miss home more than I can bear,
And I reach for someone who is not there
When tears fall and I feel so blue,
That is when I turn to You.
You give me strength when I am weak,
You help me find the right words to speak,
You lift me up every time I fall
With You, Lord, I again stand tall.

Simple, elegant and permeating to the deep of the human soul.
Out of life's hurts, we find God's glory.
