Glory in My Weakness

I walk alone to the beat of a different drum and song

Your hand formed me in a world I'll never belong

A stranger in a strange land

Set apart for a higher plan

I will glory in my weakness

Embrace the cross of my soul

'Til Your power is made perfect

And Your will becomes my own

Then I'll stand in completeness

In awe before Your throne

Overshadowed by Your mighty wings

My heart has found its home

I cry alone in the winter snow

For a life I did not choose

Face pressed against the window

Longing for love that alludes

Shelter from the bitter cold

A day when I am fully known

I will glory in my weakness

Embrace the cross of my soul

'Til Your power is made perfect

And Your will becomes my own

Then I'll stand in completeness

In awe before Your throne

Overshadowed by Your mighty wings

My heart has found its home

Though father and mother forsake me
And friends turn away
I know the Lord will receive me
His love will never fail.
And the pain of this earthly thorn
And the pain of this earthly thorn
By His grace transformed
