Strength

Smile oh Christian, beaten down
In strength and beauty, stand up tall
Know you know, you need not frown
God is watching judging all

Smile oh Christian, don’t you cry
Christian, hold your head up high
For the one who beats the brow
Shall be one to push the plow

Holding forty thousand pounds
Holding forty thousand pounds
Grasp His grace; His love abounds
Grasp His grace; His love abounds

Smile oh Christian we are one
For together, we will run
Through the forests and the trees
To the golden fields, with ease

Holding forty thousand pounds
Like a feather in the breeze
Holding forty thousand pounds
Like a starling in the feis
