Strength

More than You I loved my strength
Please show me how to live
As if it were forever true
That all my weakness You forgive

More than this You delight
In every "impossible" thing
And long to display Your power
As to You I cling

I choose my weakness over strength
So that I can love You more
And I will ever even boast
As on Your wings I soar

Weakness

Beautiful weakness, leave me not
Help me to understand
Life is more than "ought"
More than expectations
And all that I've been taught

Do not turn, my struggling soul
To hardness in your defense
Rather, trust in God, my soul
And not self-recompense

Softness stay
Leave bitterness behind
Meekness stand
And in your beautiful weakness find
His strength, and to it bind
My heart and soul and mind

Misplaced Love

Tell me, show me
What do I love more than You?
That my eyes remain here
Seeing only the pollution of worry
What do I love more than You?
That my heart remains here
Unawakened by Your grace and mercy
What do I love more than You?
That my thoughts remain here
Reluctant to think upon imperishable things
What do I love more than You?
That my hands remain here
Unwilling to hold Yours

Misplaced love
Careless sight
Fix your eyes above
On the warming light
Which heals the heart
And pierces the dark
In this you can stay
Gazing on Him
Always
