Power Share

Where does God's power stop and mine begin?
How much does He control my destiny?
I know I have some power because I sin,
and don't I have some power for good in me?

I know God's Providence provides for all,
and He created me, my time, my place,
yet also my free will to rise or fall,
and left it up to me to run the race.

I see His hand in history and fate,
in all our luck, coincidence and chance,
how far in me does His word resonate?
How much of my choice does His help enhance?

O God, since I'm so weak and You're so strong,
give me Your powerful grace my whole life long.
