Handicapped
So few can comprehend the pain a parent can go through
Who's cared for one with special needs in all that they could do
Who rising every morning had a plan to care for them
Who God in wisdom blessed them with to know the more of Him
And how He cares each moment for us who know not our own
Restricting limitations that have kept us from His throne
Where He would have us be with Him to share His majesty
Had we not been so bound with self in our iniquity
And how He thrills each moment in the little things we do
That show we recognize His love and want His blessing too
And want to be like He is helping others through their pain
To see and know the love of God that frees us once again
First in that living knowledge of the Price He paid for us
To help us in our handicap to place in Him our trust
That feeble though our souls may be our strength is found in Him
And others who observe our faults can also see for them
A promise through our actions and the words that we might speak
That proves that God provides a way for feeble ones that seek
His Spirit Who will comfort them as they become like Him
Through faith that grasps His perfect grace that He provides for them
That grace that is transcending from His Holy Place above
That like a mighty fountain flows through endless waves of love
That sweep o'er us to cleanse us from the messy things we've done
Afforded by the cleansing blood that flowed from Christ the Son
Who perfect and almighty took on Him our feebleness
The weakness of humanity to be our righteousness
To show through His dependence on the Father up above
Our handicapped performance does not limit Godly love
That knows when we're dependent in our heart and mind on Him
There's coming that great promise cherished most by all of them
Whose hearts have been most softened by the evidence of love
Poured out on those most feeble that this poem is speaking of
Who learned to be dependent on the care that others gave
Who had no power within themselves another soul to save
But shared in their dependence that one promise that they could
Beyond the grave God holds in store perfection whole and good
