Strength is over-rated,
Weakness seems to be my escape from days of old.
I wish I would just forget sometimes.
But here I am, still learning to forgive and forget-
To love and cherish;
Through the power of one who died for me.

My mind is spinning in a million directions,
I only know I have not been here before.
Avoidance has been my technique,
Then you took me by surprise.
Now I am relearning ways of life…
Yet confidant You'll catch me if I fall down tonight.

You astound me by Your sovereignty and justice,
Balanced with unsought grace and mercy.
They terrify me yet give me peace
Only because You loved me first,
Has this soul learned to love.
