His Strength, Not Mine

 

Oh Lord, sometimes even small things
Seem too big to get through.
Wash the clothes or take out the trash,
Just clean a dish or two.
 
The world can weigh so heavily
That small chores become large.
It’s in such times I hold on to
The One who is in charge.
 
The One who set the moon’s orbit,
And calls each star by name
Can help me stand up through it all.
His strength, not mine, I claim.
 
Oh Lord, this day has worn me out,
But it is nearly through.
Please, let me lean upon Your strength,
Then rest and start anew.
 
Psalm 105:4
Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
