MY STRENGTH IS DRIED UP
When we have come to the end of our strength;
The mind reels, the heart is numb, pain is immense.
The enemies seem too powerful to overcome;
The heart and soul feel that life is now done!
The heart is no longer brave and strong;
Fear creeps in, and there is no song.
Despair sets in and hope seems dead;
Sorrow fills the heart and soul instead.
What can one do in such fearful times?
One gropes, like a man who is blind.
Is there yet hope that will bring consolation?
Or is there only tired resignation?
God wants us to know human strength is limited;
Our need is to Trust in God’s power unrestricted.
God can revive our fainting heart with His might;
Nothing is impossible in the Lord’s sight!
