Lord Give Me Strength
Luciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me faith, oh Jah, I pray
To face another day, oh

Lord, give me strength to face another day
Carry on life's road, carry all my load
Give me strength, oh Jah, to tarry on
Oh my Lord
Oh Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
Please hear me when I plead
All help already pass and all help for years to come
Without who am I could not be

Many are trying to leave you outta their lives
But I wouldn't be so unwise
And so I promise to serve thee
Oh my Lord and I beg thee some mercy

Lord, give me strength to face another day
To journey along life's road to carry my heavy load
Give me strength oh Jah to tarry on
Oh my Lord

Life has become a burden, living in this evil system
Oh Jah, please strengthen me
I cannot make it along, I need you as my own
Oh Jah, I call on thee

Some are trying to leave you out of their lives
But I wouldn't be so unwise
And so I promise to serve thee with all my all
And I beg thee some mercy

Lord, give me strength to face another day
Make it along life's road, carry all my load
Give me strength to tarry on
Oh my lord

Say, give me strength, oh Jah, to carry on
And do thy holy word
Give me strength that I can make my stand
Above the sinking sand

Many are trying to leave you outta their lives
But I wouldn't be so unwise
And so I promise to serve thee with all my all
And I'm begging thee mercy

Lord, give me strength to face another day
To make it along life's road and carry all my load
Give me strength, oh Jah, to tarry on
Oh my Lord





Jah, give me strength
