God Will Provide for Me by Charles Albert Tindley — Lyrics
1. Here I may be weak and poor,
With afflictions to endure;
All about me not a ray of light to see,
Just as He has often done,
For His helpless trusting ones,
God has promised to provide for me.

About God Will Provide for Me
A pillar of early African American gospel music, Charles Albert Tindley offers a message of unwavering faith in this powerful anthem. Sung by a SATB choir in English, God Will Provide for Me draws on the familiar hymn tradition, its text speaking directly to hardship and the assurance of divine support. The opening verses describe a state of weakness and affliction, yet immediately turn to the comforting promise of God's provision for those who trust Him. The robust chorus reinforces this central theme, reminding listeners that all creation belongs to God and that our needs are known to Him. This piece is ideal for settings where a message of hope and spiritual resilience is central.
