Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side.
