Lyrics
You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me
You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me
In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your name
You lift me up
You lift me up
Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me
Your love oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skies

Meaning & Inspiration
You Are My Strength is a compact worship declaration built around God’s sustaining grace, hope, love, and faithfulness. The opening lines name God as strength and hope, then describe that help as personally accessible. A second movement connects uplift with the fullness of grace and the power of God’s name, while the closing lines broaden the picture toward heaven, mountains, oceans, and skies.
Several phrases closely echo biblical worship language. Psalm 36:5 speaks of the Lord’s love reaching to the heavens and faithfulness reaching to the skies, language repeated near the song’s conclusion. Psalm 46:1 likewise describes God as refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. These connections support the song’s central confession without requiring a detailed narrative. The repeated statements create a meditative form in which divine strength is not presented as self-generated resolve, but as grace that reaches, lifts, and holds. The result is a focused expression of dependence on God’s unfailing character.
