At times the way of life is heavy. 
My burden is a load beyond my strength.
Therefore, my strength is exposed as weakness.
Now I am where You long for me to be.

Let me call to You for perseverance
because You will respond with power.
Your shield will keep me safe,
Your armor proves to be ready. 

In my weakened condition I cry out.
You hear and work in accordance to my need!
My weakness is swallowed up by Your strength. 
Let me praise Your Holy name. 

Victory may not be mine today but it will be Yours. 
I shall see the glory; maybe not yet.
Might be in the "hear after," but it will come. 
So, I rest in Your presence. That is enough.
