Pressure builds like clouds in the sky Tears fall heavy but I don't ask why Weakness speaks louder than my pride In the cracks of my soul His love resides Storms come fierce winds gonna howl I'm lost in the dark but He lights my mile Every scar I wear every pain I've bled Is a canvas for the grace He’s spread Chains of despair try to hold me down But his mercy breaks through no chains are bound In the valley of hurt I still find peace His love's my armor my soul’s release I stumble I trip I cry I crawl But His hand’s on me I feel ten feet tall In my lowest moments I see His plan He molds me gently with His holy hand I thought I had to fight alone but His strength becomes my throne Through my weakness He's shown Strength in the weakness power in the fall When I can't stand He carries it all In the shadow of trouble His comfort's my call Strength in the weakness I'm never too small Second Corinthians I carried stones in my chest heavy and cold Built a wall so high couldn't see the fold But love's like water breaks through the cracks Turns the bitter to sweet no looking back You called me out of the dark I couldn't run A spark of grace lit me brighter than the sun Forgiveness ain't soft it's the strongest chain Binding hearts that were shattered by pain We're mending we're bending bridges we burn From ashes to beauty the lessons we've learned I saw a mirror but the glass was cracked Reflections of a life that the past attacked But I'm giving up the fight to hold on to me Pouring out my soul like an offering free I'm a vessel I'm a flame I'm a heartbeat still Living for a purpose bending to His will Every step every breath I'm laying it down A crown for a cross I'm heaven bound We're reconciled flames rising from the dust Unity's the fire burning through the rust Love's the anthem echoing wide In this living sacrifice I lay down my pride Second Corinthians Cracked and worn, a vessel frail, Just clay I am, through wind and gale. But in this form, so weak and bare, A priceless treasure I do bear. It shines within, a light so bright, Dispelling shadows, day and night. Though trials come, and storms may rage, This treasure calms, turns a new page. I'm just a jar, simple and plain, Yet filled with grace, easing all pain. The glory's not in what you see, But in the power that lives in me. So let me break, if that's the way, To show the world this light of day. For in my weakness, God is strong, His love revealed in every song. Second Corinthians
