The Power In Weakness


Christ in submission
God now the Lamb
the power in weakness
God, the Great I Am

Giving to God
our whole lives
a harvest of mercy
a joy that will last

Christ modeled sacrifice
becoming our servant
the offering, the atonement
the power in weakness

Giving to God
our lives, our spirits
hope for a future
for new life in Christ
