The strength of a man
Is not in his arms
Unless it is measured by the tenderness from
The strength of a man
Is not in his voice
Unless it’s the soft voice he uses by choice
The strength of a man
Is not what he lifts
Unless it’s by taking on burdens life gives
The strength of a man
Is not measured by love
Unless it is given to all cause that’s love
The strength of a man
Is not measured by friends
Unless he helps them out of trouble their in
The strength of a man
Will be measured by God
When he is called back to his home up above
So if you’re not strong
In the ways that you should
Ask God for his strength
He’ll turn weakness to good
Yes God makes us strong
When we stumble and fall
He’ll come pick us up if we only will call
