The Indispensable Christ

By George Macdonald

I AM so weak, dear Lord, I can not stand One moment without Thee; But, O, the tenderness of Thy enfolding! And, O, the faithfulness of Thy upholding And of the strength of Thy right hand! — That strength is enough for me.
I am so needy, Lord, and yet I know All fulness dwells in Thee; And, hour by hour, that never-failing treasure Supplies and fills in overflowing measure My last and greatest need, and so Thy grace is enough for me.
It is so sweet to trust Thy word alone; I do not ask to see The unveiling of Thy purpose, or the shining Of future light on mysteries untwining; Thy promise-roll is all my own — Thy word is enough for me.
There were strange soul-depths, restless, vast, and broad, Unfathomed as the sea — An infinite craving for some infinite stilling; But now Thy perfect love is perfect filling; Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God, Thou, Thou art enough for me.
— George Macdonald.
