Tower of Strength 2
I am a tower of strength
Within and without
I am a tower of strength within

Within and without
I am a tower of strength within
x2
All of my burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
x2
May all my shackles be loosened
May all my shackles be loose, yeah yeah
May all my shackles be loosened
May all my shackles be loose
Who wrote this one?!
This chant, with African-American roots, was written by Helene Bohman-Blomqvist. (born in Sweden, January 15th, 1949.)
It is lovely sung as a three-part canon.
I was misinformed.
Tower of Strength was writtenby Jackie Summers. It was written as part of her falicitation of women’s empowerment workshops.
My sincere apologies.
