It is not by struggling,
|
|
| 1. | It is not by struggling, |
| | But by yielding all, |
| | I may rest from labor, |
| | All my burden fall. |
| | It is not resolving, |
| | But Thyself to heed, |
| | I'm from sin delivered |
| | And from bondage freed. |
| 2. | It is not by letter, |
| | But by Spirit 'tis, |
| | I will be approvŠd, |
| | Share Thy life of bliss. |
| | It is not man's teaching, |
| | But anointing Thine, |
| | Which imparts Thy light and |
| | Fellowship divine. |
| 3. | It is not resolving |
| | Now to run the race, |
| | But 'tis by Thy mercy |
| | I receive Thy grace. |
| | It is not by knowledge, |
| | But by grace alone, |
| | I can pass thru suff'ring |
| | To Thine image grown. |
| 4. | Not by lofty phrases, |
| | But by power Thine, |
| | I the lost can pilot |
| | Unto life divine. |
| | It is not my wisdom, |
| | But Thy Spirit, Lord, |
| | Which alone can fit me |
| | To fulfill Thy Word. |
