I Love You, My Lord, My Strength
You are the rock beneath my feet
The solid ground where I can stand
When rising waters come to meet
I hold my life within Your hand
I love You, Lord, my Strength
My refuge when the road is long
I call to You, worthy of praise
You hear my voice, You make me strong
You are the fortress where I hide
My stronghold when the shadows fall
Your faithful arms are at my side
I trust in You through it all
I love You, Lord, my Strength
My refuge when the road is long
I call to You, worthy of praise
You hear my voice, You make me strong
You are my Saviour, shield and light
I call Your name when troubles rise
You lead me safely through the night
Your saving grace before my eyes
You are the rock on which I stand
You are my shelter, strong and sure
You are my Saviour, always near
I love You, Lord
I love You, Lord, my Strength
My refuge when the road is long
I call to You, worthy of praise
You hear my voice, You make me strong
ABOUT THIS SONG
Written and produced by Tasmanian songwriter Jason Bresnehan, I Love You, Lord, My Strength is a musical arrangement in the CCM Soft Rock genre with a male vocal. Based on Psalm 17:2–4, the song is a modern expression of praise, trust and dependence upon God. Drawing heavily upon the imagery found throughout the Psalms, it presents God as a rock, fortress, shelter, protector and source of strength during both ordinary life and periods of difficulty.
The lyrics focus on unwavering trust in God. Throughout the song, God is portrayed as the one constant presence that remains dependable when circumstances change, troubles arise or fears emerge. References to rocks, fortresses, strongholds and shelter reinforce the belief that true security is found not in personal strength but in God's faithfulness. The song ultimately argues that peace comes from placing your trust in God, relying upon His protection and recognising Him as the source of both salvation and strength.
The artwork depicts a musician standing upon a large rock before the walls of an ancient fortress. The image draws directly from the language of the song, where God is presented as a rock, fortress, stronghold, shelter and source of strength. The elevated position of the performer symbolises confidence and security, while the fortress walls reinforce the themes of protection, refuge and perseverance found throughout the lyrics. Together, the image and song present a picture of strength that is grounded not in human ability, but in faith and trust in God.
This song forms part of the Worship II Collection by Seventh Ribbon Music.
