How Strong
Lyrics
Based on Isaiah 41:10; 46:3,4
CCLI Song No. 3216972
Key: C
Verse 1
My Father God helped me before I was born
Held me in His arms right from then until now
Even when I am old, He will be the same
Even when my hair turns white,
He will help me
Father will take care of me,
Father God will carry me.
Refrain
How strong are the arms of God! (2x)
Verse 2
There are some times
when I can’t feel His arms around me
I even wonder – does He love me?
Then I remember ways He cares for me
He whispers to my heart, “You are my child,
Father will take care of you,
Father God will carry you.”
Bridge 1
“Do not fear, for I am with you.
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will give you strength; for sure I will help you.
I will hold you up with my right hand.”
Repeat refrain
Bridge 2
Who else could carry me
since the day that I was born?
Who else could hold me close, all these years?
Repeat refrain
Ending
He whispers to my heart, “You are my child,
Father will take care of you (I have made you)
Father God will carry you (and will save you)
Your Father will take care of you.”
Repeat refrain
