Strengthen Us

This song was written by someone in church. However this was not included in her debut song album. Both of us have sung this song before in harmony with each other. Besides it being a fun experience to sing together and sounding nice, the lyrics of the song reminded me of my status with and without Christ. May He strengthen us with His love :)

Dead in my transgressions
A prisoner of sin
Destined for Your wrath
An enemy of God
Yet rich in mercy
You chose to save me
Through the sacrifice of Your Son

He bore no outward beauty
He was a man of sorrow
Familiar with suffering
Rejected and despised
Pierced for our transgressions
So we could be forgiven
He died, was raised, He gave new life

Jesus, Savior How my heart longs to see that day
When at His name, creation bows
Till then, Lord, I pray

Strengthen us with power through the Spirit
So Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith
Strengthen us in love, with power
To grasp the measure of His love

Your grace which brings salvation
Compels us to turn away
From ungodliness, worldly passions
Die to self day by day
Help us live a life worthy
Of the calling of our God
Awaiting the blessed hope
The appearing of our Lord

Jesus, Judge and King
How our hearts long to see that day
When we're finally, fully free from sin
Till then, Lord we pray

Strengthen us with power through the Spirit
So that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith
And strengthen us in love, with power
To grasp how wide and long and high and deep
Is the love of Christ
