Strong Enough…

As I rest against this cold, hard wall,
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticise 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 has just begun…

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 on me,
Please can I have one chance to start again?

Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime,
Is there any way to be made whole again?
If I feel renewed and find forgiveness, find the strength I've never had,
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?

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 on me,
Please can I have one chance to start again?

He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around,
In my most desperate circumstance,
It's there I 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…
