Analysis of The Power Of God
Alexander Lawrence 1966 (Hollywood)
Just when I thought all hope was gone,
You gave me the strength to carry on.
When I opened my heart to you,
Your love, it has guided me through.
I was blind but now I see,
A guiding love you have shown to me.
If I believe in you, will you show me the way
To help me through another day.
The power of God, it lies within,
Forgiving me of all my sins
To my heart you hold the key,
For all that was and what will be.
