Sadly, this gets misinterpreted by Christian worship song writers as an encouraging thing that Christians should say about themselves. (They most likely are mixing this up with what Paul the apostle says of himself with God giving him the strength to endure all things in 2nd Corinthians 12:10: "For when I am weak, then I am strong.")
