For His strength courses through your heart,

Upholding you with care and grace,

No challenge can His power erase.

"In troubled waters, I am your peace,

Your refuge, your shelter, never to cease,

I'll help, I'll hold you, in trials' midst,

Fear not, dear soul, for I exist."

From the hills, my help shall come,

A whisper in the breeze, a beat of the drum,

"I lift up my eyes," to the heavens above,

Where my strength and solace, like eagles, doves,

"My help comes from the Lord," I declare,

In His boundless love, I find my repair.

Maker of heaven, earth, and sea,

Guardian of all, my guide to be,

With unwavering care, He never shall sleep,

Watching o'er me, His promises to keep.

No sun nor moon shall lead me astray,

For His presence illuminates my way,

In daylight's warmth or night's soft embrace,

His steadfast love, my hiding place.

In Him, my help, my constant guide,

With trust and faith, I journey on,

In His embrace, I am forever drawn.

Guided by God's unchanging grace.

In patient hope, we'll find our rest,

Nestled in His arms, feeling blessed,

Mounting up with courage, free,

In His love's boundless tapestry.

Even in trials, we won't grow weak,

For His power sustains the humble and meek,

Isaiah 40:31, a lifeline to hold,

A promise that never grows old.

In the God who helps us to achieve,

On wings of faith, we'll surely find,

Renewed strength and peace of mind.

A treasure of hope and rebirth.

To skies above where hope defies,

In His steadfast love, I find no pain,

More vigilant than night's watchmen be,

My soul waits for Him, expectantly.

Like dawn's first glow, His mercy breaks,
