Powerless Part II

During a lonely time in my life I borrowed a CD from one of my roommates, and 4 years later, I still have it. (Sorry, Kristi!) It's Cherie Adam's The Sweet Life. She was once part of the Christian group, Avalon. Well, her and I went to the same church in Nashville and I was really curious what her album sounded like. There are several songs I love, but Powerless is probably my personal anthem, and I will sing it one of these days.

Powerless

VERSE 1

I have spent much of my life

Proving I am strong

Trying to hide my weaker side

As if weakness was something wrong

But I can't pretend to be something I'm not

And I learn through my frailty how much You are God

So teach me to see

Lord, help me to be...

CHORUS

Powerless

Totally dependent on Your faithfulness

I am powerless

Living in Your perfect will and nothing less

On my knees is where true strength begins

'Cause Lord I've learned you are strongest when I'm powerless

VERSE 2

Why do I feel such a need to be in control?

So into me I only see the parts and not the whole

Maybe it's just I don't trust you enough

To let all my resistance freefall into love

Take hold of me 'cause I want to be..

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

You know I can't save myself

I can't even try

You know better than I do

Just how much I'm powerless
