Out of my weakness, and my woe
Out of my sinfulness and shame
Out of my bitter overflow
He has engaged to lift His Name.
Out of my sullenness and pride
Out of my eagerness to blame
He who was born and crucified
Plans to bring beauty, all the same
How can He claim a foolish thing?
Take it, and overwhelm the wise?
Faced with my scanty offering,
I can but say, "Not I, but CHRIST!"
For from a harsh and lawless tongue
He has ordained that praise be sung!
