Casting Crowns' song 'The Power of Christ in Me' is about relying on God's strength rather than one's own ability. The lyrics describe responding to God's call to step out in faith, preach, and fight spiritual battles, but acknowledging that this cannot be done alone. The song emphasizes that Christ's power makes the believer strong in weakness, and it expresses awe that God wants to use imperfect people. It encourages standing on God's truth and fighting with His strength until victory comes. The theme of dependence on divine power runs throughout, with a focus on surrender and service.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If you ask me to leap
Out of my boat on the crashing waves
If You ask me to go
Preach to the lost world that Jesus saves
I'll go, but I cannot go alone
Cause I know I'm nothing on my own
But the power of Christ in me makes me strong
Makes me strong
Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind, You shine Your light on me
Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
How refreshing to know You don't need me
How amazing to find that you want me
So I'll stand on Your truth, and I'll fight with Your strength
Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
If You ask me to run
And carry Your light into foreign land
If You ask me to fight
Deliver Your people from Satan's hand
To reach out with Your hands
To learn through Your eyes
To love with the love of a savior
To feel with Your heart
And to think with Your mind
I'd give my last breath for Your glory
