Notes About The Poem

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and [a]show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may [b]pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! 2 Corinthians 12: 9

Pitch A Tent Over Me

Sufficient  
Is His grace for me
Loving me
He died, rose
But His Father suffered too
As He gave me grace

Enough grace,
Mercy to save me
His love flows
Powers me 
His strength lifts me up higher
Comforts each second

Weaknesses
Infirmities leave
Strength, power
Pitch a tent
Over me forever~yes!
I'll gladly glory
