Strength From Weakness

Strength From Weakness If strength comes from weakness Then I must be very strong I’ve learned many life lessons From all that’s gone wrong I’ve turned my back on truth Denied too many facts Sadly admitting of being Too slow to react If character comes from misjudgments What a personality I must be Too many wrong roads taken From the paths in front of me I’ve made u-turns in traffic Been lost a time or two Often missing my destination When the daylight was through If wisdom comes from trials Then I must be a very smart man I’ve struggled with temptation As much as any one can I’ve made mistakes, I’ve changed my ways Only to be sidelined again If I’m on the road to heaven The path must be very thin If forgiveness comes from asking My knees would be very sore Daily I plead for mercy And then I asked some more A perfect man I’ll never be Mistakes I’ve made my share Thankfully I serve a God Who always hears my prayer
