Benita Jones - You Are My Strength Lyrics

"You Are My Strength" opens with a direct title declaration, naming strength unlike any other as something that specifically reaches toward the singer rather than remaining distant or abstract. That image, strength that reaches, frames the entire song around active, extended help rather than passive attribute.

Its verse names two specific sources for that strength, the fullness of grace and the power of a name, crediting both directly with the act of being lifted up. That pairing, grace and name together, ties the song's confidence to both divine character and divine authority as complementary reasons for trust.

Rooted in contemporary worship's concise, repetitive chorus tradition, the song functions as a brief declaration of God's unmatched strength and love, its closing bridge comparing that same love to mountains and oceans, naming it unfailing and repeating the earlier image of reaching all the way to the singer regardless of distance or difficulty.
