Lord, alone, I’m powerless

Lord

alone

I’m powerless;

I just cannot

cannot even stand;

Yet

what blessing weakness is

When I fully

fully trust Your hand.

Every hour

every day

I am still in need of grace;

I’ve no other strength or stay;

O Lord

show me

show me more

Your face.

Sometimes

journeying alone

Even singing

singing wearies me;

Though the way is yet unknown

You can keep me

keep me faithfully.

Feelings change continually.

All is loathsome

loathsome vanity;

When my eyes don’t clearly see

Then I’m closest

closest Lord to Thee.

All alone

how can I bear

All things gladly

gladly persevere?

Only by Your sweetest care

And Your secret

secret presence dear.

Days and moments fly away;

O’er death waters

waters soon I’ll pass;

In the hush

alone

I pray:

Lord

remember all my weaknesses.
