This song is hitting home right now. Forget that I love generally every song from Needtobreathe, and think they are INCREDIBLY talented and gifted, this song is so true! While the title is Able - the point of the song is that we as humans are not able to do anything on our own. I dont want to assume anything upon what they meant the lyrics to mean, but I think the point is that ONLY through God are we able to make it. Cause on our own - we're not able.
The lyrics are below, but if you haven't heard the song, its worth the download!!
There's a host of hurts we come across
None of which alike
From the air inside the birthing room
To the darkness where we die
Though I feel I'm just as strong as any man I know
I'm not able on my own
Carry round the secrets
Only heaven knows
Crawl into our darkened rooms where only victims go
Though I feel I'm strong enough to carry all this load
I'm not able on my own
All my actions, false or true
Selfish motives I will use
We were born with knives in hand
Trained to kill our fellow man
If we're not better than the rest
How will children do their best
Find your patience, find your truth
Love is all we have to lose
I'm not able on my own
- Rebecca

I love Needtobreathe, too!! And I feel the same way as you do about this song. Lyrically, it was my favorite right off the bat from the new album. I know I've tried to do it on my own & have come to the conclusion that I'm definitely not able! I'm not sure why I haven't posted it yet!
I tagged you in a random meme today! Feel free to participate, but I totally understand if you don't have the time! :)
