1. Whom have I in Heaven but Thee,
And beside Thee I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart are weak and may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart.

CHORUS:
God, the Lord, is the strength of my heart,
He's my portion forever.
Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart,
Your nearness, oh God, is my good.

2. Then my heart was bitter within
All my senses had gone and I was blind before Thee.
Then the Lord, my God, took hold of my hand,
And He was the strength of my heart.

CHORUS:
God, the Lord, is the strength of my heart,
He's my portion forever.
Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart,
Your nearness, oh God, is my good.
(Repeat)
