I feel quite defeated right now.
I think I need to hear these lyrics every day.
Sigh.
Our bodies are fragile and weary.
As we stagger and stumble to walk where you lead,
Give us faith to be strong.
Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful,
This life is not long but it's hard.
Give us grace to go on, make us willing and able,
Lord give us faith to be strong
Give us peace when we're torn, mend us up when we break,
this flesh can be wounded and shaky
When there's much too much trouble for one heart to take
Give us peace when we're torn
Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long but it's hard.
Give us grace to go on, make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong.
Give us hearts to find hope, Father we cannot see
How the sorrow we feel can bring freedom
And as hard as we try, Lord it's hard to believe
So give us hearts to find hope.

"Give us faith to be strong, give us strength to be faithful"
absolutely love it. it's so honest.
isn't it?
the song is by andrew peterson, and i just find he writes lyrics that have much more honesty and depth to them than other christian artists i've listened to. it's refreshing.
