[Verse 1] Darkness comes and sleep falls on the land Sin abounds, awake my bride Im coming soon, the time is at hand I send you out to carry my light [Chorus] And I know its hard and I understand But Im on your side and Ill hold you in my hands So dont give up and dont give in You are my child and Ill give you strength within Strength within [Verse 2] I hear your plea every time you pray Although sometimes it seems Im far away Be wise as serpents, but innocent as doves Always remember to abide in my love [Chorus] And I know its hard and I understand But Im on your side and Ill hold you in my hands So dont give up and dont give in You are my child and Ill give you strength within Strength within [Bridge] So when fear surrounds and evil corrals And youre pressed on every side When your feet are weary and your heart longs for home My words will get you through the night [Chorus] Cause I know its hard and I understand But Im on your side and Ill hold you in my hands So dont give up, no, and dont give in You are my child and Ill give you strength within I know its hard and I understand But Im on your side and Ill hold you in my hands So dont give up, no, and dont give in You are my child and Ill give you strength within You are my child and Ill give you strength within You are my child and Ill give you strength within Strength within I am your strength within And I love you, I love you, I love you
