By My Spirit (inspired by Zechariah 4:6)

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)

[Verse 1]
When I stand at the mountain
With no strength left to climb
Every step feels like failing
Every hope left behind
In the silence I hear it
Like a flame in the dark
A word that is living
Reigniting my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Not in what I can do
Not in what I pursue

[Chorus]
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
When I’m weak, You are stronger
You will carry me through
Not by might, nor by power—
But by Your Spirit, I move

[Verse 2]
Every wall that surrounds me
Every fear that remains
You are greater than all of it
You are breaking the chains
What is formed against me
Will not stand in Your light
For the battle is Yours now
And You’re leading the fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Not in human design
But Your power divine

[Chorus]
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
When I’m weak, You are stronger
You will carry me through
Not by might, nor by power—
But by Your Spirit, I move

[Bridge]
Saith the Lord… saith the Lord…
The Lord of Hosts goes before
Saith the Lord… saith the Lord…
I will trust You more and more

[Break]
Not by might…
Nor by power…

[Final Chorus]
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
Not by might, nor by power
But by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts
Every mountain made low
Every promise made true
Not by might, nor by power—
But by Your Spirit, I move

[Outro]
Saith the Lord of Hosts…
Saith the Lord of Hosts…
Saith the Lord of Hosts…
Not by might… nor by power…
But by Your Spirit alone
