Unknown Strength

deep inside every human
is strength. their eyes
tell the story of how the strength got there
and how the strength lies.

but within the soul of the human being
we all seem to hide
the amazing strength of immeasurable size,
the strength we have inside.

some use the strength for good
others for their evil ways
while other leave their strength there
laying neutral for many days.

people use their strength 
for some extraordinary task
"what do i use my strength for"
that's a question i have to ask

to help people?
to give something all i've got?
or just to sit and be lazy,
and say "oops i forgot"

the power i have inside me
will be used for greater good
my power will be used for God
now i've gotten that understood.

God use me
and the power i have inside
i want to be used for good
this is what i decide.
