I know of your strength It's part of my life It's held me together on many a night Clothed in your courage Cloaked by your drive Confronting each day Never failing to strive But there are times when- no matter the power you wear- troubles surround you, bringing despair The weight of the world lies heavy, oppressed even on shoulders so stoutly dressed So give me your burden to carry awhile I'll wield it, contented in seeing you smile
Too valuable to toss aside too good to throw away And so you hold it deep inside in hopes somewhere, someday- a soul will walk across your path who sees the world your way. A soul who finds the beauty in both the rainbow and the rain A heart that finds the threads of love in life's tapestry of pain. And when you find that soul you must hold on with all your might to keep this light within your life in days of darkest night.
For those who could use it now, an excerpt from the lyrics of Stay Strong by Newsboys. And here's a link to a live performance of the song: Stay Strong
We've seen the tragic flaws
The tortured souls
The saints with feet of clay
Here's where sin becomes cliche'
We've come through wilderness and watched
The cloud by day
The burning sky into dawn
Have you forgotten who you are?
Did you forget whose trip you're on?
Stay strong
You are not lost
Come on and fix your eyes ahead
There's a new dawn to light our day, our day
We've gotta stay strong
You and I run
For the prize that lies ahead
We've come too far to lose our way, our way
