The Lord Is My Strength
by Cindy Wyatt

The Lord is my rock and fortress,
my strength and deliverer
He keeps me as the apple of his eye
and makes me more than a conqueror
When I'm in distress,
my cry comes even into his ears
He is always there for me
and my prayers he hears

When the troubles of my heart are enlarged
and I feel alone and desolate
He comes to my defense
and is my advocate
When I turn to him with my need
he shows me his way and path
and pardons all my iniquity
instead of giving me his wrath

In the times of trouble
he will hide me in his pavilion
where nothing there can harm me
and I can rejoice in what he has done
When I wait upon the Lord
he gives me courage and strengthens my heart
and assures me he is always with me
and will never depart
