Why The Song His Strength Is Perfect

I chose the song “His Strength Is Perfect” that was released in 1988 by Steven Curtis Chapman to identify how it fits into one or more of the three step process Craig Werner associates with the gospel. I believe that this particular song fits into all three processes. It incorporates acknowledging the burden, bearing witness and finding redemption. This entire song is about acknowledging that the burden is weakness, sharing the experience of being weak, and explains how Christ is the redemption of weakness. This song also can relate to issues in this course that deal with facing a problem but finding the strength to get through it. The song I chose called “his strength is perfect” fits into the first step Craig wearer associates with the gospel which is “acknowledging the burden” (Werner 20). The lyrics in the song talk about acknowledging weakness one of the lines in the song is “When we truly see how deep our weakness goes, his strength in us begins” (Caldwell 1). The song is about acknowledging weakness and how Christ gives strength when it is gone.
The song I chose talks about bearing witness after acknowledging the burden which is weakness. The entire song incorporates bearing witness, which simply means sharing experiences with others. The lyrics in the song “he’ll carry us when we can’t carry on, raised in his power the weak become strong” ( Caldwell 1) these lyrics are about communicating with others what Christ will do when someone is weak and needs strength. The song mentions several occasions of experiences of needing strength and how christ brings them strength, to bear
