Romans 7:15

• [Rom 7:15] I Would, But Cannot Sing

  I would, but cannot sing, Guilt has untuned my voice; The serpent sin’s envenomed sting Has poisoned all my joys. I know the Lord is nigh, And would, but cannot, pray; For Satan meets me when I try, And frights my soul away. I would but can’t repent Though I endeavor oft; This stony heart can ne’er relent Till Jesus make it soft. I would but cannot love, Though wooed by love divine; No arguments have pow’r to move A soul so base as mine. I would, but cannot rest In God’s most holy will; I know what He appoints is best, Yet murmur at it still! Oh could I but believe! Then all would easy be; I would, but cannot, Lord relieve, My help must come from Thee! But if indeed I would, Though I can nothing do, Yet the desire is something good, For which my praise is due. By nature prone to ill, Till Thine appointed hour I was as destitute of will, As now I am of pow’r. Wilt Thou not crown, at length, The work Thou hast begun? And with a will, afford me strength In all Thy ways to run.

Romans 8:38

• [Rom 8:38] Nothing Between

  Nothing between my soul and my Savior, Naught of this world’s delusive dream; I have renounced all sinful pleasure; Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between. Nothing between, like worldly pleasure; Habits of life, though harmless they seem; Must not my heart from Him ever sever; He is my all, there’s nothing between. Nothing between, like pride or station; Self or friends shall not intervene; Though it may cost me much tribulation, I am resolved, there’s nothing between. Nothing between, e’en many hard trials, Though the whole world against me convene; Watching with prayer and much self denial, I’ll triumph at last, there’s nothing between.

• [Rom 8:38] O Love Of God, How Strong And True

  O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. O love of God, how deep and great! Far deeper than man’s deepest hate; Self fed, self kindled, like the light, Changeless, eternal, infinite. O heavenly love, how precious still, In days of weariness and ill, In nights of pain and helplessness, To heal, to comfort, and to bless! O wide embracing, wondrous love! We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below, In seas that swell, and streams that flow. We read thee best in Him who came To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. We read thy power to bless and save, E’en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light, We read the fullness of thy might. O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest Forever safe, forever blest.
