I know that You are always here,
Watching over me.
On days when struggles come my way,
Your strength will protect me.
But in my heart I feel so lost,
So confused and afraid.
I don't know why my hope is gone,
With me I know You've stayed.
The joy and peace You fill me with,
Is hard for me to see.
I feel such sadness fill my soul,
It's taking over me.
There is a raging fight in me,
I'm starting to feel beat.
The evil one is hard at work,
I'm feeling O so weak.
I won't let Satan rule my life,
I will not let him win.
I need Your help Lord, rescue me,
Please take away this sin.
Please fight this battle for me Lord,
And send him far away.
Then give me all the strength I need,
To fight him off each day.
I am unworthy of Your love, 
Your mercy and Your grace.
I don't deserve to be Your child,
Or feel Your sweet embrace.
But when I'm weak and loose my way,
My eyes so filled with tears.
Please reach down and touch my soul,
And show me that You're near.
I know that I will fall again,
So keep reminding me.
To hold on tight and not let go,
When struggles come to me.
Help me to never turn from You,
Fill me with desire.
To love You Lord with all my heart,
Set my heart on fire.
You are my strength when I am weak,
You help me carry on.
You are my friend through good and bad,
Though others may be gone.
You are my eyes when I can't see,
You turn my life around.
You are my feet when I can't walk,
I'm safe on level ground.
Thank-you Lord for the air I breathe,
You're the reason I live.
All my days I'll offer You praise,
My all to You I give.
