When on I am set upon my knees,
Weak and vulnerable, I am at my strongest.
When the human power I was born with
Fails me, it is then I am at my strongest.
When I am pained with a broken heart
Or judged for heartless acts, I am at my strongest.
My strength is not born of my own will
Nor it is given as a prize.
When I humble myself before God,
And surrender the will of my desires,
I am the strongest I have ever been.
I am not strong in body or mind,
It is in my spirit where my strength exists.
He strengthens with love,
Promises to walk with me,
And never abandon me
When I am at my weakest,
He guides and encourages me,
Because He knows I am unable to do it alone.
His power, His strength
They become mine.
Not because I have earned them but,
Because I have placed faith in Him.
Yes, it is true that today,
I stand as a tall aged oak.
Able to withstand the aches of my heart.
He is here, with me.
He resides in my heart,
His power, His strength
Give me the power to move on.
II Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
