Your Power
“ 9But 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.” 2 Cor 12:9 NIV
Give me Your power, Lord
For on You I rely.
Create in me a pure heart;
My weakness to deny.
Make me more like you, Lord.
Give me Godly sorrow and repentance.
Wash me with Your precious blood;
Cleansed by your acceptance.
Your power is the only way
I can represent You,
For my weakness still exists,
Even when Your power’s in view.
Upon You I am dependent
Each and every day.
You said Your grace is sufficient—
For Your continued power, I pray.
If there be any anxious thoughts,
Or lack of faith somehow,
I ask You to change me;
Wipe all fear from my brow.
Gift me Your gift of faith;
For all I rely on You.
For each and everything I need,
I depend upon Your power true.
Give me Your power, Lord;
Faith in consistent actions.
Clothe me with Your glory;
Reign in all my communications.
Make me like You, Lord,
So to others, I’m a witness
of Your redeeming power and grace;
Your enabling robe of righteousness.
