Reaching for your strength

I am reaching for something that I cannot comprehend
I know there has to be something greater than myself
because this life has gotten the best of me
when I wanted to give my all for you, I will seek you with my thoughts
I am trying to do what I know is right on the inside according to your promises

Chorus:
There have been times when I have not let go of myself
and grabbed a hold of your strength, when I am on my face before you
I will still be reaching for your strength
I cannot imagine anything more freeing than when I am on my knees
Crying out knowing that if I keep reaching and drawing on your strength
you will sustain me

Verse 1:
When I feel like giving up and I can see myself slipping out of control
These are the times I realize that I need to reach for something that will help me
I am getting tired of trying the same old things this world tells me
I am asking for you to keep me reaching and drawing on your strength

Verse 2:
When I fall more in love with you the more I want to know who you are
The more I can understand the strength that I can have,
I have put my trust in so many things that don’t matter from now to eternity
It is when I draw near to you that I can experience all you have for me
Will I ever be able to understand the strength that you offer
