Songs of Love:30

【Strive for the Lord】

1. I Strive even among daily chores,

In quietness live for you;

I strive even life's busy and tight,

Lord, I still walk with You.

I strive despite the world's corrupt course,

I'm sanctified to you.

I strive on! O' Lord, for you I live.

2. I strive even in doubts and worries;

Let You comfort my heart.

I strive mid the storms of temptation,

Lord, keep my heart sincere.

I strive in the days of affliction,

My love to You I give.

I strive on! O' Lord, for You I live.

3. O' Lord, I know that You love me,

I have captured Your heart!

How precious Your favour, tender love,

That's why I'm striving still!

Forget not You chose and commissioned me;

I'm glad to know Your will.

I strive on! O' Lord, for You I live.

【Psalm‬ ‭127‬:‭1‬-‭5‬】

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.

5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
