Sufficient Grace

If I should ever wish to boast,
That I would never be a fool;
Speaking of the heavenly Host,
Words of the truth always the rule.

But I refrain from showing pride,
That no one may think more of me;
Because of Christ I will abide,
For the insight that I can see.

Because I am not conceited,
Through greatness of revelation;
A thorn from Satan has seated,
Attempting a mutilation.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord,
That Satan should depart from me;
It nearly felt I was ignored,
I merely want darkness to flee.

But His grace will be sufficient,
His strength perfect for my weakness;
Its power is more proficient,
For conquering Satan’s bleakness.

So, I will boast of my weakness,
The power of Christ will deter;
It will assure that my meekness,
Will be strengthened as a thwarter.
