Graham Kendrick's song is a prayer for strength, hope, and perseverance in the Christian walk. It asks God to lift the weary, light a fire that cannot be drowned, and walk beside believers through dark valleys. The lyrics echo themes of patient trust, waiting on the Lord, and the promise of crowns and glory. Drawing from Scripture like Isaiah 40:31, it speaks of soaring like eagles and not growing weary. The song also declares a commitment to bear God's name and keep the banner of faith flying high until the work is done.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Give me strength when I'm weary

O my Lord

Lift me up when I fall

O my Lord

Light a fire in my bones

That an ocean cannot drown

Give me hope, give me strength

Until my work is done 


Oh, Jesus be my vision

Oh, the passion and the fire in my soul

We'll keep the banner flying high

The banner flying high 


In the valley of shadow

O my Lord

You will walk by our side

O my Lord

If we love not our lives

Rather die than to deny

There'll be crowns, there'll be glory

When the morning comes 


Those who wait on you patiently

O my Lord

Those who trust in your word

O my Lord

They will soar, they will glide

Like an eagle in the sky

They will walk, not be weary

Till the work is done 


For his glory standing shoulder to shoulder

Proud to bear his holy name

Sound the victory, our God is among us now 


Oh, Jesus be my vision

Oh, the passion and the fire in my soul

We'll keep the banner flying high

The banner flying high
