Ellie Holcomb's song 'My Portion and My Strength' is a heartfelt prayer for God's help in times of inner turmoil and weakness. The lyrics draw on biblical miracles—calming the sea, giving sight to the blind, and raising the dead—to illustrate God's power to bring peace, light, and new life to personal struggles. The repeated plea to believe that God will be one's portion and strength reflects a deep trust in His sustaining presence. The song encourages listeners to rely on God's promises and to find hope in His faithfulness, even when they feel they are losing their grip.

Your voice calmed the wind and the sea
Can you calm these storms inside of me?
Help me to stand
On the promise that You are holding my right hand
Help me to know
That even when I lose my grip You won't let go
Help me believe
That You will be my portion and my strength
Your voice gave the blind the gift of sight
Can you take my darkness and turn it into light?
Help me to stand
On the promise that You are holding my right hand
Help me to know
That even when I lose my grip You won't let go
Help me believe
That You will be my portion and my strength
Oooh You'll be my portion and my strength
Oooh Your voice called the man out of the grave
Can You breathe new life into this mess I've made?
Help me believe
That You will be my portion and my strength
Help me believe
That You will be my portion and my strength
You'll be my portion and my strength
