Bryann T + Monica Hill Trejo - You Are My Portion Lyrics

This compact declaration is a declaration of dependence on God under pressure. Running, crawling, and fighting to the end describe persistence when strength is nearly gone. The lyric does not present endurance as self-sufficiency; it identifies God as the safe place, lasting hope, and source of strength. Even when hostile forces seem to drag the singer toward an edge, confidence in God’s reign supports the resolve to rise again.

The song’s clearest biblical echo is Psalm 73:26, which confesses that flesh and heart may fail while God remains the strength of the heart and its portion forever. Its language of safety also fits the biblical portrayal of God as refuge and present help in trouble. Repetition gives the central confession emphasis: weakness is admitted, but abandonment is not assumed. The result is a prayerful statement of trust that holds human frailty beside God’s enduring sufficiency, making reliance on him the basis for perseverance.
