I've always been a strong man able to withstand
The pressures of this fallen world tine and time again
But lately I have noticed some cracks within the shield
So it's within my weakness that Your strength is now revealed
For my hope lies in You when my faith is on the run
You give sweet forgiveness for things I have done
When I get battle weary from the wars I can't win
I rest in Your protection even though
My armor's wearing thin
The storms of life like pounding rain have battered me for years
They've left their bitter scars among an endless trail of tears
Looking back I'm feeling like I've failed in many ways
And tonight I need my Savior more than words can say
For my hope lies in You when my faith is on the run
You give sweet forgiveness for things I have done
When I get battle weary from the wars I can't win
I rest in Your protection even though
My armor's wearing thin
And when I need You most You are standing by my side
To take whatever I cannot I'm safe where You abide
For my hope lies in You when my faith is on the run
You give sweet forgiveness for things I have done
When I get battle weary from the wars I can't win
I rest in Your protection even though
My armor's wearing thin
