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
