God Give Me Strength

sang by Kristen Vigard (on "Grace of My Heart")

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
Cause I’m weak in his wake
But if I’m strong I might still break
And I don’t have anything to share
That I won’t throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out

He was the light that I’d bless
He took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

I can’t hold onto him, God give me strength
When the phone doesn’t ring
And I’m lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I’d bless
He took my chance of happiness
So God give me strength

God if he’d grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well
Wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I am only human, I want him to hurt
I want him, I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I’d bless
He took my chance of happiness
So God give me strength
I need a strength
