Strong Enough
How many times do we blame ourselves incessantly the moment we fall into a pit, by conscious choice or careless mistake? When the momentum of self-pity the blame drags us into is far more destructive than the initial problem itself.
Why do we strive so hard not knowing if the goals are what we truly need? Why the endless battles against the slings and arrows of the world with hefty burdens on our backs? Why the mutilation of our emotional, mental and spiritual states whenever things do not seem to go well at all?
We are so weak. We all cry. Whether tears flow or not, the heart sheds tears of moaning. He knows the weight of each tear that falls and His heart knows our heartbeat of pain. But He is not helpless with the suffering, as most of us can be when our loved ones are beaten down.
He comforts and says, 'I will fill you with a joy so deep and eternal that all your troubles and suffering will no longer be insurmountable.'
As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again
Will my weakness fall and and now make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again
He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again
