this song has been one of my go to songs for so so many years...it continues to soothe, encourage, and help me to press on...

strength of my life - leslie phillips

i open my eyes to the sound of morning news...
and wish for ten more minutes left to sleep...
and as i get into the shower...
the thoughts of facing one more day...
overwhelm me...and i begin to weep...
and i've never felt...like i needed your help...
so bad...

well my tears are pushed away now...
for the sake of morning rush...
till the bible on the table catches my eye...
and i read that You are near to
the hearts that break with grief...
and i realize that i don't have to try...
to live life myself...
because You're ready to help me live...

and everyday i look to You
to be the strength of my life...
You're the hope i hold onto
be the strength of my life...

be the strength of my life...
be the strength of my life...
be the strength of my life...today...

each day has its problems...
its troubles and its tears...
and it seems i'm always anything...but strong...
when i learn to know my weakness...
i understand Your strength...
and even when the hard times last so long...
i won't try by myself...i'll just ask for Your help...
each day...

and everyday i look to You
to be the strength of my life...
breathe on me and make me new...
be the strength of my life...

be the strength of my life...
be the strength of my life...
be the strength of my life...today...

seriously...is it any wonder why He is the first one that i speak to in the morning...and the last one i speak to at the end of the day?
