Give Me Strength
Bob Chilcott (b. 1955)
Give me strength to the walk the soft earth.
Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand
that I might be like you
With your power only can I face the winds,
All over the earth we are all alike.
Look upon these faces of children without number
and with children in their arms.
With your power only can they face the winds
and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
Give me strength.
