lyrics

My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good

My feet had nearly stumbled from the path of life
I coveted the ways of those who walk in pride
Secure in their riches, I envied their ease
Till the light shone down upon me

When I came into your presence I perceived their end
They build their lavish mansions on the shifting sand
By turmoil and trouble they’re soon swept away
But the Lord is my rock and refuge

O whom have I in heaven but the Lord my God
And here on earth there’s nothing else that I desire
My spirit may falter, my body may fail
But the Lord is my solid treasure
