I need some extra strength

To face what ever is to be

This day more than any day

 
I need to feel you near

To fortify my courage

And to overcome my fear

By myself, I cannot meet

 
The challenge of the hour

There are times when humans help

,
But we need a higher power

To assist us bear what must be borne

and so dear Lord, I pray

 
Hold on to my trembling hand

And be near me today
