Stronghold
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have not my own goodness
No, I have no pure desire
For You wrote into existence
All the faith that You require
I'm not leaning or supported
I'm not helped up to stand
But I'm carried by You, Jesus
Carried in Your saving hands
How I need You
Just to need You
How I long to
Never long for another
I could have strength, I could be bold
But if I have not Your stronghold
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
When my own heart condemns me
You are greater than my heart
When the fear is overwhelming
You are greater still, by far
When the swells of doubt are rising
And my faith a distant thought
Just one whisper from You, Jesus
Overcomes shouts from the dark
How I need You
Just to need You
How I long to
Never long for another
I could have strength, I could be bold
But if I have not Your stronghold
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
And if I could see You
If I could touch You now
Still, I would not believe
Unless You taught me how
So my hands are open
My life is all poured out
Is this how You want me, Lord?
I'm waiting on You now
'Cause all understanding across the Earth
Never could lead me to what I don't deserve
I needed death and I needed birth
And had no longing, then how would I learn?
Still
I wanna see You
I wanna see You now
Is this how You want me, Lord?
I'm just waiting on You now
I could have strength, I could be bold
But if I have not Your stronghold
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
Hmm, hmm-mm
