"Never Underestimate My Jesus"

from a Relient K song from http://www.azlyrics.us/209163:

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What are the deaths I still dwell in?
I try to excel but I feel no movement
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin
[...]

CHORUS:
Never underestimate my Jesus
your tellin me that there's no hope
I’m tellin you your wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
when the world around you crumbles
He will be strong [...]

I throw up my hands
oh the impossibilities
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I’m searchin' for
The confidence I lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles
Is overcoming my fears
[...]

CHORUS

[...]
I think I can't
but I think you can
I think you can gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands
[...]

Be my Strength when I am Weak

Exodus 4:10-12:

"Then Moses said to the LORD, 'Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since. You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.' " The LORD said to him, 'Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.' "

God can work through our physical weaknesses for His glory.

As the song goes:

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all.

2 Corinthians illustrates the truth of God's being able to work in spite of our shortcomings in verses 9 and 10: "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."

God, please work through my weaknesses for Your glory.
