Born in weakness, raised in strength,
Once broken, now forged anew.
Once lost, now found.
Once fearful, now courageous.
Once foolish, now wise.
Once poor, now rich.
Once wandering, now guiding.
Once proud, now humbled.
Once human, now more.
This is the power of Christ:
To take the weak, and make them strong.
To take the broken, and forge them again.
To take the lost, and find them.
To take the fearful, and give them courage.
To take the fool, and give him wisdom.
To take the poor, and give them wealth.
To take the wandering, and teach them to guide.
To take the proud, and humble them.
To take me, a human, and make me more than what I once was.
