The Collingsworth Family performs an uplifting rendition of ‘His Strength Is Perfect’ live in Nashville, Tennessee.
We all face seasons when our own strength fails us completely. Sometimes we look at our lives and see no remarkable achievements to celebrate. We find no victories to claim as our own. In these raw, honest moments, songs like ‘His Strength Is Perfect’ speak straight to our hearts.
Written by Steven Curtis Chapman in the 1980s, this song begins with Paul’s confident declaration in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” and then reflects on how we often struggle to live out this truth in our daily lives.
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory of my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know
The following lyrics speak of the powerful words found in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness,” where God reveals that His power works best in our weakness and echoes Isaiah 40:29-31, which promises that God gives strength to the weary.
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect
God reveals a truth here that challenges everything our world teaches us about strength. True strength isn’t found in our own power or abilities. Instead, it comes when we fully admit our deep need for God.
The song reminds us that we don’t need to prove our worth through success or recognition. God invites us to bring Him our weakness, our questions, and even our failures.
When we’ve reached the end of ourselves, we discover something amazing. We find the limitless power of God working through us in ways we never imagined. Our weakness becomes the very place where God displays His perfect strength.
The Collingsworth Family captured this life-changing message through their stirring live performance. The video begins with a solo voice, joined by other members as the performance builds to a powerful conclusion. Their voices and the message speak directly to our hearts.
The song reminds us that our moments of greatest weakness aren’t failures in God’s plan. These moments become opportunities for His power to work most perfectly through us.
Every time we feel unable to carry on, we can find rest in an unchanging truth: God’s strength never fails. His power shows up most perfectly not in our capability, but in our complete dependence on Him.
Today, let’s embrace this profound truth: we don’t need to rely on our own strength because His strength remains perfect in every situation we face.
