2 Corinthians 12 is the chapter where Paul recounts a vision of paradise and the promise that has shaped Christian thinking about weakness for two thousand years: “My grace is sufficient for you.”

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord For three times I begged the Lord that it might depart from me

He has said to me My grace is sufficient for you For my power is made perfect in weakness Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses

That the power of Christ may rest on me Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses In injuries in necessities in persecutions and in distresses For Christ’s sake For when I am weak then am I strong

I have become foolish in boasting You compelled me For I ought to have been commended by you

For I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles Though I am nothing Truly the signs of an apostle were worked amongst you In all perseverance in signs and wonders and mighty works

Behold this is the third time I am ready to come to you And I will not be a burden to you For I seek not your possessions but you

I will most gladly spend and be spent For your souls If I love you more abundantly Am I loved the less
