Meaning & Inspiration
You Are My Strength (Ozichi Cover) is a worship song that names God as strength, hope and peace that reach the singer. The opening lines repeat that He is strength like no other, hope like no other, and that this reaches to the singer, and the middle section says that in the fullness of grace and the power of His name He lifts the singer up. The peace verse follows the same pattern before returning to hope.
The bridge praises unfailing love stronger than mountains, and the final lines say that His love reaches to the heavens and His faithfulness to the skies. The images echo Psalm 46:1 and Isaiah 40:29-31 on strength, Romans 15:13 on hope, John 14:27 on peace, and Psalm 36:5 and Psalm 57:10 on love and faithfulness reaching the skies. The repeated phrases invite a congregation to sing along, and the tone is reverent and assured.
