2 Corinthians 12:9-10 · “Gracefully Broken” · Tasha Cobbs Leonard

NOT A QUOTE “Gracefully Broken” Tasha Cobbs Leonard 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Sing it. Nothing here is offered as a quotation, and nothing it says about God is untrue. Just know the strong-when-weak line is Paul's conclusion about a trouble God would not take away.

✓ The song is a prayer. It is addressed to God nearly all the way through, and its requests ask God to act rather than announcing what the singer will achieve.

⚠ The bridge states Paul's conclusion with none of Paul's occasion. He wrote it about a thorn God refused to remove. A singer with no trouble in view supplies the meaning.

2 Corinthians 12:9 · “Your Grace Is Enough” · Matt Maher

NOT A QUOTE “Your Grace Is Enough” Matt Maher 2 Corinthians 12:9 Sing it. Nothing here is quoting scripture, and nothing it says of God is untrue. Just know the verse behind it is God's answer to Paul, not a line Paul sang to God.

✓ Never says it is quoting at all: no reference, no translation named, nothing framed or introduced as scripture

⚠ The direction of the sentence is reversed. God's word to Paul becomes the singer's word to God, which is true to say and is a different act from what the verse records
