about

To preach the Gospel is the greatest of all tasks, and none of us are up to it. We are truly the weakest of all men when we preach, because we contain within our fragile lives the inestimable treasure of Christ. This song was written at St. Johns in 2008.

lyrics

track 05 – weakest of all men (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

I am nothing, how can You ever find in me something to love, to make beautiful
I am the weakest of all men, ever one step away from death and yet You have called,
calling me for what I’m not worthy of.

I am dust and ashes, I be falling to the winds and tides, my whims, emotions, can’t hide
frailty I embody, thus far scraping by on grace alone and yet You have called
calling me for what I’m not worthy of

I am the weakest of all men with nothing as my own
without a place to call home
but You have taken hold of me and filled me with Your peace
and I’m forever Yours, I’m forever Yours.

You are the one who removed all of my filthy rags but for a pauper like me,
I don’t deserve it, to be treated like the son of a King and yet You have called,
calling me for what I’m not worthy of.

they say the weakness of God is stronger than the strength of men,
and that His foolishness is wise
that’s why I trust You, when You call me, the weakest of all men, and so You have called
calling me for what I’m not worthy of.
