Weakness

Lord You are my confidant,
The only one I share my weaknesses with.
You see into my very soul
And do not flinch from what You find.
You see my failings
And begin Your great work.

You create a foundation in Yourself
And build me up.
Solid layer upon solid layer.
You test me gently,
And when You think I'm ready,
Harder.

Sometimes I fall
But You catch me in Your caring hands,
Set me on my feet
And keep building,
Until my weaknesses are my strengths.
