God give me strength In the face of this adversity God give me hope Give me a reason to believe I try to live a good life I try to do whatever is right But sticks and stones eviscerate my bones Till I can hardly survive God give me, God give me strength Give hope and give me love Give me something I can be proud of Give me a life to lead A hungry mouth to feed Don’t sit and watch me bleed I try to live a good life I try to do whatever is right But sticks and stones eviscerate my bones Till I can hardly survive God give me God give me strength And when your cross is hard to bear I’ll pick it up, I will be there To bind your wounds and heal your hurts I’ll give you shelter from the storm I’ll keep you safe, I’ll make you warm Keep holding on, keep holding on God give me God give me strength
