Lyrics

[Verse]

Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord

Stand tall in His power let His love accord

In the power of His might we'll find the light

Through the storms of life He'll bring us to new heights

[Verse 2]

Raise your heart lift your voice to the sky

In His grace we'll rise fly high and dry

No shadows no fears no more endless night

With the Lord’s strength everything feels right

[Chorus]

Be strong in the Lord find your peace within

His power healing past all our sin

Together we are one in His sacred light

In the strength of His might we will fight the fight

[Verse 3]

With His power we conquer every storm

Through the darkest valleys we are reborn

In every battle we stand side by side

With His love our guide we never need to hide

[Bridge]

When the world feels heavy cast your cares upon

In His strength we'll march on till the dawn

His power in us forever pure and bright

Be strong in the Lord feel His might

[Chorus]

Be strong in the Lord find your peace within

His power healing past all our sin

Together we are one in His sacred light

In the strength of His might we will fight the fight
