Nous savons, du reste, que toutes choses concourent au bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu, de ceux qui sont appelés selon son dessein. Romains 8:28

I Can No Longer Walk

I can no longer walk
Without the Father by my side
I can no longer stand
Without Christ at my right hand
I can no longer speak unless the spirit speaks to me
I need the presence of the Lord by my side

The way is getting stony
And the path is getting steep
Yet the strength to go on
Comes from Christ inside of me
At every corner there’s temptation
And sometimes I stray but then I look to the Father
He says my son come follow me

I’ve tried my own wisdom I’ve tried my own way
But all I accomplish is to turn God away
So put your hand in the Father’s
And repent of all your sin
Turn your back on this old Adam
And live your life to follow him

When I run in my own power
In the race of overcoming
I am thirsty I am weary I have fallen I have failed
Satan whispers in my ear
Give it up you’re going to die
But Jesus comes and gives me water
So I never will run dry
