I will boast in my weakness.

Sometimes I cry when my day has been bad.

And sometimes I curse when my kids make me mad.
My eyes often wonder where they don’t belong.
And my mind often thinks that I do everything wrong.

I am not perfect.

And I am not strong.
It is in my weakness,
that I get carried along.

He is my strength,

And He is my shelter.
He is where I run
when I have bad weather.

I say I’m not worthy

‘cause of who I have been.
But He came back for me,
then He died for my sin.

He wants all of me,

No matter who I am.
Because He is my Savior,
The Son of Man.

There is nothing that I can do

to be worthy of His Grace.
It was a gift from my Father
when His son died in my place.

It is not in my strength

or perfection that I boast.
Because it’s in my weakness
that glorifies Him most.

Now I give up my life

for the one true King.
May His Love and His Mercy
be displayed through me.
 

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12: 8-10)
