Fragility

Fragility
A Christian Song
Lyrics by RB
[VERSE]
Think Paul a mighty man, great man of God?
That he strode upon the ground and conquered for the Lord?
Paul was nothing, except he made himself available
To be God’s man, to be God’s hand, to be God’s sword
[CHORUS]
Took you great task into your hands
To prove to God ability?
Then watch it break, and crumble into dust
This thing built on fragility.
[VERSE]
Think Gideon slayed a thousand men, and placed his boot upon their throats?
Think He confidently strode out upon the field of war?
No, his clan was the weakest, and he was the least.
God raised him from the threshing floor
[CHORUS]
Took you, some task into your hands
To prove to God ability?
Then watch it crumble into dust
That thing built on fragility.
[VERSE]
Think Jonathan a soldier strong, a single man of courage
When only armour-bearer at his side, went out to face the foe?
No, he had no need for armour or for bearer
Twas God who walked with him, then God with fear did overthrow
[CHORUS]
Took you, some task into your hands
To prove to God ability?
Then watch it crumble into dust
That thing built on fragility.
[VERSE]
Think you that Joshua planned to take the city with trumpets?
That his great scheme would be to entertain them all?
No, was God, who with trumpets made men small,
and as they played, made it so the walls did fall
[CHORUS]
Took you, some task into your hands
To prove to God ability?
Then watch it crumble into dust
That thing built on fragility.
[BRIDGE]
Think Jesus walked alone, and on his own relied?
Think came here He for his own power to display?
No, he came as man, for man to see
What man for God, and God in man could be
[CHORUS]
Took you, some task into your hands
To prove to God ability?
Then watch it crumble into dust
That thing built on fragility.
[OUTRO]
Took you, some task into your hands
To prove to God your fine ability?
Then watch it crumble into dust
That thing built on fragility.
