Whispers of His Power – JANUARY 27
2 Tim. 2.1, 3: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
From dullness to a friendly word,
From deafness to the song of bird,
From blindness to the birds and flowers
That grow among the rocky hours,
From all that would ungratefully
Becloud my sky, deliver me.
From craven inner selfishness
Whatever be its outward dress,
From fainting when the goal is near,
From faltering in my song of cheer,
From all that is unsoldierly,
Captain of souls, deliver me.
oooOOOooo
