All Things Possible
Because God loves me, this my soul's confession:
With God, all things are truly possible.
Not by my might,nor by my weak profession,
But by the hand of Him who owns the all.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
The mountain that I face, unmoved and vast,
The ocean deep of need before me cast,
The prison door of fear that's bolted fast—
Are but a breath to Him,from first to last.
And so I do not face them on my own,
A fragile soul to struggle and to mourn.
I face them in the strength of Christ alone,
Who for the joy before Him,bore the thorn.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)
The "all things" possible are what He wills,
What lines with His good purpose and design.
The heart that trusts Him utterly,He fills
With power to rise,to follow, and to shine.
To love the unlovely, to forgive the debt,
To stand in joy when every comfort flies,
To walk on promise when in fear I've met—
This is the possible that makes me wise.
For He who did not spare His own dear Son,
But gave Him up for us—won He not also,
With Him,grant every battle to be won?
His love the certain ground on which I go.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
So let me live this year, and every day,
Not by the sight of what my eyes can see,
But by this faith:Love makes a perfect way.
All things are possible, my God, through Thee.
Amen.
