As a man strength is something I'm supposed to exhibit
but it seems more and more that my weakness inhibits
me. It feels like theres a thorn in my side
like the fires going out, like wind has died
in the folds of my sails, they are hanging limp
and all the lies that are screaming im no more than a wimp.
but i remember shaul, when it happened to him,
and the light that he knew seemed to suddenly dim
and he pleaded three times that itd be taken away
and in that place came a voice and it started to say
you cant do this yourself,
so dont try and be tough.
i just want you to know
that my grace is enough.
that my power is known
and it reaches peak
and is most often shown
when it comes from the weak.
So i sit here and wonder what it is I should do
with my life, with my future, I just wish that I knew
what it was He has planned, that I'd know it for sure
and my intentions and my goals in my mind could be pure.
But I look at today and the mess that I've made
and the path thats behind me, and the stones that i've laid
that seem broken and rough, a road hard for the feet
but its seems that tomorrow that the path could repeat.
Its a circle, and it feels like im stuck in a spiral
that it comes from my faults, this disease that is viral.
But I am told Mother T, when someone asked her to pray
that they'd have the assurance that she seemed to display,
that she said, "im sorry, i wont pray that for you my dear,
not one single plan in my life has been clear.
all i've done is believe that His words are all true,
and have faith in the promise. So ill pray that for you."
you cant do this yourself,
'cause this isnt your plan
you wont find any wisdom
or advice from a man.
you might not ever know
what your going to achieve,
its the things you cant see
that you have to believe.
you cant do this yourself,
so dont try and be tough.
i just want you to know
that my grace is enough.
that my power is known
and it reaches peak
and is most often shown
when it comes from the weak.
