"The LORD is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation"
Psalm 118:14
You, Lord, are my strength: my power, might, boldness, my firm foundation.
And my song: ( Forgive my lack of musical knowledge, but I would like to break down at least some of the structure of a song!)
Title: I carry Your name, I'm made in Your image!! With Your name, Father, I can declare You to others.

Overture: You are my beginning (my Alpha!) You are my climb, You heighten my anticipation in life.
Melody: You are the principle part of my life, You make my life to be filled with beauty.
Harmony: You not only lead, but you work with me and make me sound good.
Tempo: You alone decide the timing, Your are the beat, the rhythm of my life.
Chorus/refrain: You give me structure and are willing to continue to patiently repeat so that I can learn.
Dynamics: You, Lord, give me a higher level of dynamics and activity. You lead me to times of being "fortissimo" - strong and loud and yet You also bring me to times of "pianissimo", being soft, quiet, and gentle.

Help me, Father, to sing my Song well!
