The Oil of Strength

[Verse 1]

You rose from out the waters,

and you came before the throne—

not in weakness, not in silence,

but as one the Lord has known.

Then the oil upon your forehead

spoke a promise, clear and sure:

you are marked for life and courage,

you are chosen and secure.

[Pre-Chorus]

Like the oil on Aaron’s beard,

flowing down with holy fire,

grace was poured upon your calling,

lifting heart and soul much higher.

[Chorus]

This is the oil of strength,

the sign upon your head.

You are crowned with living mercy,

with the life the Spirit said.

This is the oil of strength,

you are sealed and set apart—

made a royal priest forever,

with His name upon your heart.

[Verse 2]

Eyes that see must lead the body,

wisdom rises from the head—

so the blessing finds its purpose

where the Spirit’s light is spread.

Not for rest, but for the journey,

not for ease, but faithful stand—

every soul anointed now

for the work of God’s own hand.

[Pre-Chorus]

Drawn by love that calls your name,

drawn by fragrance from the King,

every heart renewed in courage

feels the strength this oil brings.

[Chorus]

This is the oil of strength,

the sign upon your head.

You are crowned with living mercy,

with the life the Spirit said.

This is the oil of strength,

you are sealed and set apart—

made a royal priest forever,

with His name upon your heart.

[Bridge]

“Draw us after You,” we answered,

running in Your risen light—

breathing in the scent of life

that turns the darkness into sight.

What was poured is not forgotten,

what was given will remain—

strength to stand and strength to serve

in the glory of His name.

[Final Chorus]

This is the oil of strength,

not a memory, not a sign—

but a living gift of power,

grace that claims this life as mine.

This is the oil of strength,

you are armed with holy fire
