Strength in Love

This world of ours is mighty rough
To get through it you must be tough.
Stand against the evil one
Fighting wars til day is done.

Sometimes the day just gets you down
Feel as though you're whirling 'round.
To get through it you must be strong
Fight the battle 'tween right and wrong.

What does it take to get through life?
When all that you can see is strife?
What does it take to bolster you,
When it feels like all your strength is through?

It's a simple thing, it's strong as steel
My love for you, so deep, so real.
It holds me through my darkest hour
Takes away the enemy's power.

Because I love you I can face
Whatever happens in this place.
Knowing you are there for me
Keeps me from turning tail to flee.

Because you love me I can stand
Strong and firm in shifting sand.
Fearing not the strongest foes
Weathering life's deepest woes.
