the power of weakness – v3


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

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

Christ modeled service
becoming the servant
the sacrifice, the atonement
the power of weakness

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