I open my eyes to the sound of morning news, and wish for ten more minutes left to sleep,
And, as I get into the shower, the thoughts of facing one more day overwhelm me, and I begin to weep,
And I've never felt like I've needed your help so bad.

Though my tears are pushed away now for the sake of morning rush, 'til the Bible on the table catches my eye,
And I read that you are near to the hearts that break with grief,
And I realize that I don't have to try to live life myself because you're ready to help me live.

And every day I look to you to be the strength of my life,
You're the hope I hold onto - be the strength of my life.

Be the strength of my life, strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today,
Be the strength of my life, strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today.

Each day has its problems, it troubles, and its tears...and it seems I'm always anything but strong,
When I learn to know my weakness, I understand your strength,
And even when the hard times last so long, I won't try by myself,
I'll just ask for your help each day.

And every day I look to you to be the strength of my life,
Breathe on me and make me new - be the strength of my life.

Be the strength of my life, strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today,
Be the strength of my life, strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today,
Oh, be the strength of my life, the strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today,
Be the strength of my life, strength of my life,
Be the strength of my life today.
