We recorded this song in 1979.  Almost 40 years ago.  WOW.  Truth is, it's still the truth.  When we are weak, then He is strong. WE CAN NEVER KNOW HOW STRONG HE IS UNTL WE UNDERSTAND HOW WEAK WE ARE WITHOUT HIM. All these decades later we can testify to the FAITHFULNESS OF JESUS. 

"Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."  2 Corinthians 12:8-10

My strength is made perfect when you're weak

I love when you rely on Me

If you would only trust Me

You'd see what I mean

My strength is made perfect when you're weak

Life's no bed of roses, everyone agrees

So I gave my life to You, Lord

Thinking it would be a breeze

You know how much I love You

And I'm trying every day

But when I'm feeling sorry for myself

I always hear You say:

My strength is made perfect when you're weak

I love when you rely on Me

If you would only trust Me

You'd see what I mean

My strength is made perfect when you're weak

No one ever heard of a Branch without a Vine (John 15:5-8)

My life depends on You, Lord

And that suits me just fine

Sometimes You have to shape me 

So I'll turn out like I should

Even though You know that hurts me

It works out for my good

My strength is made perfect when you're weak

I love when you rely on Me

If you would only trust Me

You'd see what I mean

My strength is made perfect when you're weak
