when i’m weak, then i am strong
i want to run without growing tired.
how long, i wonder, must i carry on?
so i return to the surface for air
no one listens, no one cares
faith that endures is what i really need.
they ask me how i made it this far
the day You called my name
i’ve never been the same since.
thought it cruel to feel what i faced at such a young age
now i respond with prayer of thanks
cause You trained me in affliction early
so i’d be ready to bear it now
twenty six and i still cry most days
i’ve found the secret paul talked about
humility in washing feet that kick me
giving more even when i'm on empty.
i’ll say His name 'til my body’s in the grave
not another name i live to praise.
i decided to know nothing but this
Jesus Christ & Him crucified
that’s why my blood still flows through my veins
why i stayed when i'd rather leave.
some days i can hardly stand it
i drove home asking God what to do
out of the pit He lifted me
“not i, but Christ” i confessed
foundation that gives me strength
weakness that shows His sufficiency.
i'm a lowly vessel, so mold me & use me
not according to what i desire or dream, but for the glory of Christ my King.
