Give Me Strength

This is one of my favorite songs I’ve written because it’s helped me in so many ways. I find myself singing the chorus a lot in tons of different situations. I hope it can be useful to you too!
Read 1 Corinthians 10 and James 1 for more about what inspired some of the lyrics!
Lyrics:
Verse:
The fire grows
And the smoke chokes
Me until I can’t see
Where the exits should be
But there’s still hope
A ground floor window
But Like a moth to the flame
I blindly put on chains
Chorus:
Give me strength
I don’t got it in me not today
Scared of my own mind cause it betrays
Me, God I need you to keep me awake
Don’t let me slip off into a daze
Somewhere I can’t even try to pay
Attention, wandering into a dark and grave
Dimension, God I’m begging you to give me strength
Cause I got nothing left except to pray
I got nothing left except to pray
Verse 2:
Don’t be deceived
Thinking “God is tempting me”
Every move we make’s our own
Can’t blame God or the devil
Satan strikes the match
But what we do after that
Is in our full control
Help me choose to choose my soul
Chorus:
Give me strength
I don’t got it in me not today
Scared of my own mind cause it betrays
Me, God I need you to keep me awake
Don’t let me slip off into a daze
Somewhere I can’t even try to pay
Attention, wandering into a dark and grave
Dimension, God I’m begging you to give me strength
Cause I got nothing left except to pray
I got nothing left except to pray

Bridge
You don’t shift
Like the shadows and the wind
You are always present
With mercy for creation
You don’t shift
Like the shadows and the wind
You whisper goodness
But I choose to hear silence
You don’t shift
Like the shadows and the wind
You give heavenly gifts
Despite my selfishness
You don’t shift
Like the shadows and the wind
Time to stand up and resist
Every sweet and ruthless sin
