"With Strength of Jehovah"

There are times when the world will assail you
Leaving tendrils of terror behind
For a difficult passage you travel
But with strength of Jehovah you’ll find
He will shore up your castle for battle
And draw up your bridge to protect
For a ridge he will form all around you
And keep you there safe and erect
He will face all your foes in your conflict
Give you courage and strength to endure
He will carry your heart and your worries
Your soul he will thus reassure
As you lean on your heavenly father
Drawing strength now to face this ordeal
He will give you whatever is needed
And his love and comfort you’ll feel
