Only For the Weak- Avalon

Some say it's rules and regulations

And trying to always be right

No room for mistakes in the choices we make

For only the strong survive

But it's not about perfect performance

Or resolution of will

It's all about surrender

Giving up

Being still

It's only for the weak

For the faint of heart

Those driven to their knees

Those who live with scars

There's power from beyond

We're certain where it's from

And that's our source of strength

Before we follow Christ

We need to be advised

It's only for the weak

He welcomes the worn and the weary

All who are wounded by sin

And just as we are, we can fall in His arms

Rest and find shelter in Him

Seems like each day as a battle

With burdens and struggles to face

And only in our losing

Do we truly see how much we've gained

The Father always starts

Within a willing heart

Open to how He moves

As His spirit is poured

He will do so much more

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change

Courage to change the things I can,

And the Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

With a glimpse of the light, it gets hard to let go.

But doubt overrides And I want to know

If I’ll really make it or will I fail again

I’ve allowed my soul to be shattered, I’ve allowed my heart not to mend.

But in light, Your Truth shines brighter than all of my fears

The darkness grows dimmer the more I near

To your presence and holiness; I’m so unworthy

But you remind me I’m a clean slate so I fall on my knees
