You are my strength, my gun, my nerve, my searchlight in the dark

Your love alone in this world makes an everlasting mark

But rarely are you clear to me – I’m doubting all the time

And often I fall down before you teach me not to climb

So, hear my voice as now I sing your praise as best I can

And keep awake your love in me for each and every man.

 

I could have nailed you to the cross had I lived years ago

But now I know I put you there each time I turn and go

Yet rarely is this clear to me – I’m doubting all the time

How often must I fall before you teach me not to climb?

Oh, hear my voice as now I sing your praise as best I can

And keep awake your love in me for each and every man.

 

You give me joy and, when in danger, find me words to say

It gives me strength to understand my life is planned this way

But still you are not clear to me – I’m doubting all the time

So often do I fall and yet so often must I climb.

Oh, hear my voice as now I sing your praise as best I can

And keep awake your love in me for each and every man.

 

Come eat with me, come walk with me, and humble me I pray

I’m weak but now too wise to try to find another way

But rarely is this clear to me – I’m doubting all the time

Lord, help me to remember if again I try to climb

Oh, hear my voice as now I sing your praise as best I can

And keep awake your love in me for each and every man.
