It is not by struggling

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.

It is not by letter

But by Spirit ’tis

I will be approved

Share Thy life of bliss.

It is not man’s teaching

But anointing Thine

Which imparts Thy light and

Fellowship divine.

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.

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.
