William Murphy - You Are My Strength Lyrics

“You Are My Strength” builds a simple confession of dependence on God. By repeating that divine strength “reaches to me,” the song presents God’s help as personal and present rather than distant. The repetition gives the lyric a prayerful focus, with each return to the central phrase underscoring trust. Strength is not treated as self-confidence or personal resolve; it is received from a source beyond human ability.

The verses connect that strength with grace and the power of God’s name. The image of being lifted up suggests restoration, support, and renewed courage for someone who cannot stand by personal effort alone. Together, these lines portray worship as both adoration and dependence: God is named as the source of strength, while grace is the context in which that strength is received. The song’s concise language makes its central confession clear and sustained.
