Lord I need some meat,
on my spiritual bones . . .
I need to have the muscle
that my faith in You tones.

I need to have willpower,
a winner’s determination
I need the sustenance
of Your fortification.

Lord I need some brawn,
on my spiritual vertebra
I need a spine that won’t
from You breakaway.

I need to have self-control,
courage and fortitude
so that I can have in You
a can and will do attitude.

Lord I need some meat,
some muscle, some grit
on my spiritual bones . . .
so the race I won’t quit!

1 Corinthians 3:2

I have fed you with milk,
and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not
able to bear it, neither yet
now are ye able.
