“I cannot do it alone; The waves surge fast and high, And the fogs close all around, The light goes out in the sky; But I know that we two Will win in the end, Jesus and I. Cowardly, wayward, and weak, I change with the changing sky; Today so eager and bright, Tomorrow too weak to try; But He never gives in, So we two will win, Jesus and I. I could not guide it myself, My boat on life’s wild sea; There’s One who sits by my side, Who pulls and steers with me. And I know that we two Will safe enter port, Jesus and I.”

“Has the kingdom of God been overadvertised, or is it only that it has been underbelieved; has the Lord Jesus Christ been overestimated, or has He only been undertrusted?”
