Strong in the Lord — Lyrics
Verse 1
I am small, but I am not weak The Lord is strong when I cannot speak Wisdom shines in the choices I make Truth in my heart, for Jesus' sake
Pre-Chorus
His joy is my strength His Word lights my way I can stand up tall And be brave today
Chorus
The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength Stronger than horse Stronger than chariot The joy of the Lord is my strength (Strength, strength, strength)
Verse 2
Goliath was big, but God was bigger A little stone came with a holy trigger Not by size, not by loud, proud fame God lifts the one who calls His name
Pre-Chorus
His Spirit gives might His Spirit gives love His Spirit gives self-control From heaven above
Bridge
Be strong in the Lord Stand fast in the fight Put on His armor And walk in His light A calm heart is strong A wise heart stays true The Lord is our tower He carries me through
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“The joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Real strength isn't in our muscles or our toys — it's in trusting Jesus. The same God who made the mountains gives joy and strength to His children to face anything today. We are not strong on our own, but in the Lord we can do all that He has called us to.
