This morning during my prayer time, I listened to the song May Your Power Rest On Me
Over the Grave is an album of songs based on the hymn writing of Isaac Watts. This particular song was based on Watt’s Hymn #15. Here are the lyrics. Read them slowly and reflect on them. I hope you will make these words your own prayer today.
Let me hear my Savior say
“Your strength shall return.”
Then I’ll rejoice in my weakness
As I lean on your grace.
As I lean on your grace.
Chorus:
May your power rest on me.
You are strong when I am weak.
I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days.
Let me know my Savior’s face.
Let my hope be secure.
Then I’ll rejoice in my weakness
As I lean on your grace.
As I lean on your grace.
Chorus:
May your power rest on me.
You are strong when I am weak.
I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days.
Once from the Lord withdrawn
I thought that I could live my life alone
Leaving the solid ground
I sank beneath his wisdom
The harder I tried to climb
The closer I was to find
How great is my weakness
Chorus:
May your power rest on me
You are strong when I am weak
I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days
Though the trial still goes on
Your grace will be my song
For I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days.
May your power rest on me.
May your power rest on me.
