NOT I BUT CHRIST
1. Not where we
elect to go,
But where Jesus
leads the way,
There the living
waters flow,
There our darkness
turns to day.
2. Not our
self-appointed task
Will the Lord's
approval win,
But the work we did
not ask,
Finished humbly,
just for Him.
3. Not the prayer
we long to plead,
When we bend before
the Throne,
But the touching
deeper need
Of the Spirit's
wordless groan.
4. Not the gift we
proudly lay
On His altar will
He heed,
If our hearts have
said Him, "Nay,''
When He whispered,
"I have need.''
5. Thus we die, and
dying live
In the heav'nlies
with the Lord;
Thus we serve, and
pray, and give,
Christ Himself, our
great Reward.
