Citipointe Worship - Be Our Strength Lyrics

Be Our Strength is a prayer shaped by dependence on God during pressure and uncertainty. The opening appeal asks God to remain near, then answers fear with continuing hope and praise. Its repeated names for God—hope, peace, refuge, Savior, rock, defense, and shield—present divine character as the basis for courage. The chorus is communal in expression, but its focus stays on Gods ability to hear prayer and sustain faithful declaration.

The lyrics closely reflect the language of the Psalms, where distress and confidence often appear together. Waiting does not mean passivity here; it becomes a steady refusal to be moved while praise continues. Repetition reinforces that posture, returning again and again to the source of strength rather than enlarging the threat. The song therefore functions as both petition and confession: it asks for help while declaring that help is already found in God. Its worship theme is trust formed through prayer, especially when human resolve is insufficient.
