In my weakness...

In My Weakness by: Cary Schmidt

When living life for Jesus Christ becomes too hard a task,
When obedience means sacrifice that seems to much to ask;
That's when I learn that my own strength isn't really strength at all,
And I find rest in humbleness when I surrender all.

In my weakness He is strong;
In my need He leads me on.
When I come to the end of all I am,
And I place my trust in Him;
That's when His strength begins-
In my weakness.

When failures in my human strength have weakened all my pride,
Andy ruined hopes in fallen dreams have crumbled me inside;
It's then by grace I fin'lly see the strength of Jesus Christ,
His victory is real in me when weakness fills my life.

In my weakness He is strong;
In my need He leads me on.
When I come to the end of all I am,
And I place my trust in Him;
That's when His strength begins-
In my weakness.

II Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
