My will is weak, my strength is frail (Alternate Tune)

lyricist: Watchman Nee
Composer: Robert Henry Earnshaw

My will is weak

my strength is frail

And all my hope is nearly gone;

I can but trust Thy working true

To gently hold and lead me on.

I’ve tried my best

but still have failed

E’en as before I’ve failed and erred;

Thy patience is my only trust

To hold and keep me to Thy word.

Whene’er my heart is lifted up

How very near I am to fall;

I dare not do

I dare not think

I need Thyself in great or small.

Thou art my Savior

strength and stay

O Lord

I come to seek Thy face;

Though I’m the weakest of the weak

My strength is nothing but Thy grace.
