Make Weakness A Wonder

Lord make weakness a wonder of 
what Your power can do
From within this earthen vessel let 
Thy glorious strength  shine through
Out of dim understanding 
Your illumination bring
From my own daily struggle 
an undaunted faith to cling

Let not vain pride or prejudice, 
resist Thy perfect will
conform us unto brokenness 
till all is quiet still
Where preference or privilege 
would turn our heart away
Let grace and mercy birth 
through love a resolve to obey

Prevent the lie of flesh 
a place its weakness to excuse
let grace abound where 
sin once reigned, 
no more the lie to use
Where former powers of darkness 
controlled our selfish way
let Thy own truth and Spirit now 
Your glorious fruit display

Deliver us from ignorance 
through neglect of Thy Word
till wisdom born through godly fear 
lays hold of all we've heard
Let us not ever carnal be,  
mere babes in Christ remain
Lest want of godly diligence 
receives Thy grace in vain

How long despite the Spirit’s Power, 
we on ourselves relying
will we be those confessing Christ 
while yet His power denying
Lord as we see Your image clear 
tis all we long to be
Transform weakness to wonder
 from glory to glory
Am~
