Not In My Strength

Not In My Strength
Heidi Baker and Kevin Prosch

Stumbled again I cannot hide
the weakness that lives in my soul
Truth is revealed I can't deny,
I am no more than a fool.

This is my boast:
I am not strong.
This is the gift that I give:
I've built you an altar out of the ruins
Of this broken life that I live.

I praise you God. I praise you God. I praise you God.
Not in my strength, but my weakness.

Have you not called the disqualified, the poor and the prodigal son
The scum of the earth, bankrupt and blind
Lost and unfortunate ones?
You know me well, I'm all of these things, still you have called my your own.
Then you wash me in blood, under the cross
So I boldly come to your thrown.

I praise you God. I praise you God. I praise you God.
Not in my strength, but my weakness.

You made me Lord to be your vessel.
You made me Lord to feel, fill me up.
I have brought nothing to the table, just a desire to know you more.

I praise you God. I praise you God. I praise you God.
Not in my strength, but my weakness.

Brother in law went to send our crate with UPS yesterday. We have the paperwork. To make a long story short. They currently won't send our shipment. We have till Monday, and maybe it could still go through. If it doesn't, we don't know what we'll do. And right now, there is nothing more I want to do then just go home and be at my parents house, and see my sister. Play with my nephew, and go Christmas shopping. All this to say, I'm feeling pretty weak.
