Give strength to these bones O Lord
I am pleading to you so.
Let me soar with eagle's wings
To heights you only know!
Only You know the purpose of my life
Let me not grow weary before I'm through.
I know there is only one source of strength
And Lord that source is You.
I fear this sense of hopelessness
That creeps from time to time.
When I feel those tentacles enclosing
My release is knowing thou art mine!
Grant me spiritual fortitude
In adversities face, let me be brave.
Let me go forth with strength and vigor
Till I'm resting in my grave.
Inspired by a sermon given on July 7, 2013 by Dan Gutenson at Watts Chapel Baptist. Taken from Isa. 40:27-31 on biblegateway.com
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
