What silly tangled webs we weave
Pretending to be strong instead of weak
As if to be weak were a terrible sin
We hide our weakness deep within
Selling ourselves short we believe the lie
That men are not suppposed to cry
A liberation won't quiet their din
That women are nothing less than men
The world pushes for us to "live strong"
Covering the truth with their 'joyous' throng
Seeking for truth in a world with none
Lost and confused we will become
In a little book standing the test of time
An uncomplicated, beautiful truth we will find
The lies of this world are proven wrong
For through His grace our weakness makes us strong

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV)
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
