A Spiritual Hymn
It is Thou who works in me
Exactly through which parts?
Does Thou think my thoughts?
Is it Thee who words my talk?
Maybe He is the gait to my walk.
Nonetheless, the desires within
Never arises from my heart which is stained in sin
Not one straight stick, all of mine bend
I need Thee
Like the baby in the womb needs the mother
I need Thee
Like the little child that hides from the dark under the cover
I need Thee
Like the slave needs hope
I submit, with my head low, I beg and plead
I am only a worm Abba
Thou work in me!
“Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.”
