Useless Armor
(written by Candice Landis 03/06/2013)
What weakness do you try to hide
Why is it so hard to accept advice
Why do you stand alone, clinging to your pride
Telling yourself, it's okay. somehow you'll survive
Who's approval do you seek
What reward do you chase that is so sweet
Why do you hide being human, being weak
For what reasons do you do these things
You hide your shame and deny your guilt
Hold it inside like a poisoned blade buried to the hilt
Thinking if no one see's it, then it doesn't exist
While it eats you from the inside out like a cancerous cyst
There is salvation, there is another way
Shed your useless armor, it's not too late
Look to our Father,He will open the gate
Invite you in and clean your slate
Realize that you are not the one in control
Your ignorance of Him is what makes your progress slow
Accept Him and there's no limit to the heights you can reach
Follow the foot prints in the sand left by His feet
Our Father intentionally made us weak
So His guidance we would seek
When we turn to him and our troubles weep
He wraps us in His love so tender and sweet
