words and music by Micah Fickett
Keep me from simply surviving
in you may I find true life
Let your joy be overflowing
Even in the midst of strife
Give me strength and perseverance
Grant me wisdom in the night
Fill be with thy loving presence
And equip me for the fight
Cause I’m not going to make it on my own
Cause I’m not I’m not going to make it without you
And in times when all is peaceful
In the seasons free from care
Keep my spirit ever heedful
of your blessed presence there
Let me not forget the lessons
that you thought me through my pain
Rather let me always question
if you profit from my gain
I have had my times of plenty
Times of need I’ve had as well
There’ve been days were I’ve gone hungry
There’ve been nights I had my fill
I have learned contentment’s secret
Christ alone my spirit’s strength
If I’m worn out, If I’m well slept
At all times I will give thanks
