Strength (Song of Solomon Chapter 9)

Unwittingly, you stole from me
 The pieces of my heart, the bruised and battered parts
 And you bound them up with your selfless love
 Something no one else was capable of
 But that's not all you did
 That's just the half of it
 'Cause you showed me love and it filled me up
 Then I felt your touch and I can't get enough
 That infectious smile and that look in your eyes
 Tells me that I chose right this time
 'Cause you give me (Strength)
 Strength to go on so I know I can make it.
 Strength to smile now and I don't have to fake it.
 Whatever comes at me I know I can take it with you by my side
 'Cause you give me (Strength)
 (You give me strength)
 You give me, give me (You give me strength) strength
 You give me
 Before you, frustrated I waited
 Broken promises on my plate but I ate it
 While longing for the love of my dreams, back then I was so weak
 I kept telling myself that this time would be the last time I'd cry
 The last time that I'd endure malice and lies
 No more sleepless nights
 Then you came along with affection
 In your arms I found peace, help, and protection
 Soul to soul we made a connection
 This can't be wrong 'cause you made me strong
 You give me (Strength)
 Strength to go on so I know I can make it
 Strength to smile now and I don't have to fake it
 Whatever comes at me I know I can take it with you by my side
 'Cause you give me (Strength)
 (You give me strength)
 You, you, you, you, you
 You give me, give me
 (You give me strength)
 You give me strength
