Would I smile if I was broken? Would I dance on crippled feet?
Would I fall too far behind again, or run a race I know I can?t complete?
Would I give if I had nothing, and could I love the ugly me?
Would I try so hard to be so strong, when I know that all I am is weak,
All I am is weak . . .
Would I clench my fist, fall down and scream at all I cannot do?
Or dry my eyes and crawl back to my feet,
And stumble after you.
Would I grin in my embarrassment, and would I laugh when the joke is me?
Could I look you in the eyes still, when my crippled legs are all that I can see,
All that I can see . . .
So take my hands if they won?t give, and take my life so I can lift you.
Take my eyes if they?re on me, please take my heart and make it bleed.
Take all this up to a hill and crucify the king of will
Till all I have runs down my face and I?m a wretch who?s drowning in your grace.
(lyrics from ‘stumble after you’, by all weather human)
so i’m honestly feeling kinda broken. i feel as if i’m on crippled legs. but then again, aren’t we all? we can never measure up. we all fail at something. i feel very, unprepared. very inadequate. very weak. but will i focus on that? will my eyes only see my crippled legs? will i only focus on my shortcomings? or can i look beyond my weakness, and see how very strong and able God is. i fear that i will fail. but if i fix my eyes on Christ, instead of myself, i will continue pushing on in this race. (even if it means crawling…. stumbling… along)
i have a feeling that this recent ‘breakage’ in my life is making room for some great, awesome things for God to do at oneday… and next year as well.
time to pack. we are leaving for sherman, texas around 10pm tonight. time to push along. time to pick up and continue on this journey with Christ. time to realize that where my strength ends, God’s begins. time to stop leaning on crutches i make for myself in this world. time to lean on the cross of Christ alone. see you all after memorial day. have a awesome and safe weekend. *hugz*
I realize you wrote this blog in 2003, but I am trying to find an All Weather Human CD and I was brought to you by a google search. I am leaving this comment in hopes that you can tell me where to locate these precious CD’s as they are/were my favorite band and my existing CD’s are on their last leg. If you have any info, please email me back.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi,
We heard All Weather Human in Duluth about 6 years ago and my daughter would like to get the music to Stronger than Life to be song at her wedding. Love that song by All Weather Human. We live in central Minnesota. The wedding is in May.

All Weather Human disbanded about two or three years ago. I have two of their albums, “If the Bough Breaks” and “All Weather Human” (their last I beleive). I ahve the Stronger Than Life song, if you contact me at bolson@gac.edu I can attach it and send it back.
