I tired myself, put me to shame
I opened my mouth, buy nothing came
With my hope form the start, perfection to gain
I did not realize the Lords way of things
I spoke from my mind, security, no pain
So I did not step out, my spirit to train
And I paid no attention as Father explained
I took all in my reach, but nothing new came
Unused muscles get restless
They itch for the pain
But the heart is inanimate
It is not a finite thing
One grows from his weakness
And as I stepped out the truth came
Before I know joy, I must know pain
