It's Not By Might

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.

We'd like to think that we can handle problems on our own.
We buckle down, apply the steam, work our hands down to the bone.
But when we've gone around in circles and there's no place left to turn,
The Lord reminds us quietly, "There's a lesson to be learned".

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.

We try and try in our own strength to make things come out right.
We think and plan and organize and try with all our might.
But when we fin'lly reach the bottom, the end of all our rope,
The Lord reminds us once again, "In Me you'll find your hope."

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.
