God, My Strength--Dec. 3, 2015

Lo, you are the one

who forms the mountains,

creates the wind,

reveals your thoughts to mortals,
makes the morning darkness,

and treads on the heights of the earth--

I love you, O God, my strength!

Teach me to grow

in the grace and knowledge

of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior,

that I may be one of your people,

producing the fruits of your kingdom.
