Beautiful Saviour, why do you allow such pain?
Do You not fear my heart it will stain?
Are You so certain of my threshold?
That under the pressure I will not fold?

Precious Lord, beyond this dark is there light?
Will You be my armor in this fight?
Will You be the strength I do not possess?
Your joy upon me, will you impress?

Abba Father, draw me close to You.
Be with me in all I do.
Focus my eyes upon You alone.
Let not my heart turn to stone.

Be the smile in my eyes and on my face.
Be the strength my heart will trace.
Be the joy in my soul that overflows.
Be the peace that covers me in its clothes.
