[Lyric] Strength Within (The Nesbitts)

[Verse 1]
Darkness comes and sleep falls on the land
Sin abounds, awake my bride
I'm coming soon, the time is at hand
I send you out to carry my light

[Chorus]
And I know it's hard and I understand
But I'm on your side and I'll hold you in my hands
So don't give up and don't give in
You are my child and I'll give you strength within
Strength within

[Verse 2]
I hear your plea every time you pray
Although sometimes it seems I'm far away
Be wise as serpents, but innocent as doves
Always remember to abide in my love

[Chorus]
And I know it's hard and I understand
But I'm on your side and I'll hold you in my hands
So don't give up and don't give in
You are my child and I'll give you strength within
Strength within
[Bridge]
So when fear surrounds and evil corrals
And you're pressed on every side
When your feet are weary and your heart longs for home
My words will get you through the night

[Chorus]
'Cause I know it's hard and I understand
But I'm on your side and I'll hold you in my hands
So don't give up, no, and don't give in
You are my child and I'll give you strength within

I know it's hard and I understand
But I'm on your side and I'll hold you in my hands
So don't give up, no, and don't give in
You are my child and I'll give you strength within
You are my child and I'll give you strength within
You are my child and I'll give you strength within
Strength within
I am your strength within
And I love you, I love you, I love you
