Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.  Zechariah 4:6

 

Verse 1

Samson was a young man, who had a godly start

His parents had such plans for him, they knew he’d have a part

In bringing back God’s people, from the bondage of their sins

But Samson was a rebel, he had other things to win

 

Verse 2

When it was time for battle, to take the enemy on

Samson’s lust and selfishness, enslaved him as a pawn

There was a bigger battle, than just with Philistines

Samson’s sins they trapped him, as he did the devil’s schemes

 

Verse 3

God showed him such great mercy, when a lion attacked and roared

A thousand men surrounded him, yet he won without a sword

He could tie three hundred foxes tails, so the Bible did record,

But Samson never learned it’s by, “my spirit saith the Lord”

 

Chorus

God seeks a man He can strengthen, who’ll fight down on his knees

Who cares about God’s honour, more than his own needs...

Who walks with God, and leans on Him, and loves Him more each day...

We’ll find the strength that’s spiritual, that works as we obey!

 

Verse 4

At the end of his life, ol’ Samson, now blind and bound in chains

Was finally a broken man, his life had been in vain

He begged the Lord this final time, his faith to be restored

And mightily proved, it’s only by,  “my Spirit saith the Lord”

 

Verse 5

So, when God shows you why you’re here, and what you are to be

You’ll find you have a strength from Him, that gives you victory

But the power that God offers, is the power of God’s Son

It comes upon a spiritual life... all God needs is one!

 

Ending

God seeks a man He can strengthen, who’ll fight down on his knees

Who cares about God’s honour, more than his own needs...

Who walks with God, and leans on Him, and loves Him more each day...

We’ll find the strength that’s spiritual... that works as we obey!

It works as we obey!
