Strong Enough
by Stacie Orrico
As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun
Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again
Will my weakness fall and and now make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?
Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again
He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

It seems stupid to create a blog and just post song lyrics in it. It just shows that you have nothing good (or better) to write about. But this isn't always the case. hehe I decided to post the lyrics of Stacie Oricco's Strong Enough here because of the fact that I love the song and, ultimately, the message it conveys. I love the artist as well, by the way. This song makes me cry sometimes.
Life is beautiful, no doubt about it. But there are times that it gets a little shitty (I'm not sure if such a word exists, but you probably able to realize what I mean). During these times, we wonder if He loves us or what. We tend to question Him or His existence. But being able to see the good things in life; being able to experience love, being able to hear the laughter of children, being able to see the smile upon the face of our loved ones are reasons enough. These are reason enough to know that He loves us. Being able to wake up each morning is reason enough that He is giving us another chance to do better and be better.

Inconsistency. Yes, this entry, or perhaps the blog as a whole, shows how inconsistent my thoughts are. It shows on my way of writing. Another problem I have to work on.

>>> Same here. Hehe. But I do it sometimes and I even made a blog for Christian songs/lyrics. Hehe.
"[...] inconsistent my thoughts are. it shows on my way of writing. another problem i have to work on."
>>> Again, same here. Hehe (again). But I think we are bound to be this way. Still it doesn't hinder us to perceive life as beautiful, ei? *wink wink* Just look at my blog(s), they're all scattered pieces of my inconsistent self. Cheers! ^_^
it's nice to hear that you are no longer that sullen boy who lost faith in the tiny miracles of life. :)
