The Lord Is My Strength
Dennis Jernigan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was there for he would not bow to men
There's no doubt or denyin'
God shut up the mouth of the lion
When He heard His servant cry
The Lord is my strength
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
Every day and every hour
Remember Paul and Silas in the jail
They rejoiced for they knew God
Would not fail
Then along about midnight
God delivered them by His great might
When He heard His children cry
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
Every day and every hour
Remember we were all dead in our sin
My sins were buried when
Lord Jesus rose again
When satan comes like a flood
Cry out to Him
Who shed His own blood
That we might reign with Him on high
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
Every day and every hour
Every day and every hour
Every day and every hour
Every single minute
Every hour of the day
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power
Is my strength
Day by day And every hour
Every day and every hour
Every day and every hour
Every day and every hour
