GIVE ME STRENGTH TO FOLLOW
(Tune of "Near The Cross")
By Gary C. Michael July 4, 2008
LORD, FORGIVE ME ON THIS DAY.
TAKE MY SINS AWAY.
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO STAND OR FLEE,
BASED ON WHAT’S AROUND ME
*( GIVE ME STRENGTH. GIVE ME STRENGTH,
STRENGTH TO FOLLOW JESUS.
MAKE ME STRONGER THAN I AM.
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO FOLLOW.)
LORD, I LAY MY BURDENS DOWN
TAKE AND MAKE THEM LIGHTER
TAKE THE BLACKNESS FROM MY HEART
TAKE AND MAKE IT WHITER
*( CHORUS)
IN MY STRENGTH ALONE I SEE
THERE’S NO WAY TO HELP ME
ALL MY BEST IS WORSE THAN BAGS
FILLED WITH FILTHY RAGS
*( CHORUS)
LORD, DIRECT MY STEPS TODAY
TEACH ME WHEN TO LEAVE OR STAY
MAKE ME BOLD TO STAND FOR THEE
KNOWING WHEN I NEED TO FLEE
*( CHORUS)
