Hope for a Faint Heart
“God is the strength of my heart...” ¹
I hear the Scriptures say.
My faint soul may be fortified
When in Him I delight and obey.
Inner strength comes from trusting
That He always hears my prayers. ²
He knows my frame is dust ³
And He gladly takes my cares. ⁴
“He who did not spare His own Son...
Graciously gives us all things,” ⁵
Ample faith and hope and love
For whatever challenges life brings.
“He hems me in—behind and before” ⁶
So I’ll know the way of His will.
He sets “the days ordained for me” ⁷
Then “prepares good works” I fulfill. ⁸
“According to His riches” in His Son ⁹
My needs are met—
Contentment, courage, character
Are needs He’ll not forget.
All I must do is ask Him, and
Though broken, yet believe... ¹⁰
The Holy Spirit’s power
Is the strength I then receive. ¹¹
