• Power in Growing

   

  I will boast in my weaknesses;

  I will stand tall in my pain—

  For walking up this mountain

  Strong power is what I gain.

  I will dance in struggling fear;

  I will praise you in the fire—

  For running on this road with you

  Your glory is lifted higher.

  Strip all of me away.

  Cleanse me with your rain.

  Let sweetness echo through my words.

  I praise your steadfast name.

  You dress me, Lord, in armor, not from mortal man.

  This world cannot sustain me, but Lord, your glory can!

  For this reason I delight in setbacks.

  I grow stronger in the knowing…

  Power does not come from me

  But is given freely when I’m growing.

  2 Cor. 4:6-10

  For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
