Lyrics
. I Give You My Strength
(Chorus) I give you my strength, I give you my arm
for I would not let you come to harm.
I hold you up when you are down, I give you my strength.
Verse 1
The winter's breath is cold and deep,
the warmth of my hand awakens the seed.
From a dark place under the ground
springs new life when sunlight is found.
Verse 2
Like the grass turns yellow to green
and the cold water rushes the stream,
tiny buds, so fragile and white
show their face when warmed by the light.
Verse 3
For nothing moves and nothing is born
if not for the strength of my arm.
I made the whole earth, I also made you.
Turn to the light, and then you will bloom.
