Faith to be Strong

"Give us faith to be strong, Father, we are so weak.
Our bodies are fragile and weary
And as we stagger and stumble to walk where you lead
Give us faith to be strong.

Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful.
This life is not long, but it's hard.
Give us grace to go on, make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong.

Give us peace when we're torn, mend us up when we break.
This flesh can be wounded and shaken.
When there's much too much trouble for one heart to take
Give us peace when we're torn.

Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful,
This life is not long but it's hard.
Give us grace to go on, make us willing and able.
Lord, give us faith to be strong.


Give us hearts to find hope, Father, we cannot see
How the sorrow we feel can bring freedom
And as hard as we try Lord it's hard to believe
So give us hearts to find hope.

Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful
Cause life is not long but it's hard.
Give us grace to go on, make us willing and able.
Lord, give us faith to be strong.

Give us peace when we're torn.
Give us faith
Faith to be strong."

-Andrew Peterson

Just a song that means a lot to me, and has helped me today. A good taste of Andrew Peterson as well. If you haven't heard of him, I would highly recommend him. His songs speak to the struggles and joys in the Christian life, and sing God's praises in such a simple but profound way. I just love his music.

Work today, and hopefully it'll go well.

First day at work again, of the week. I wish the weekend wasn't over. Now, I'm working for the weekend.
