The Work Is the Lord's

By C. P. Bollman

C. P. BOLLMAN

THE work is all the Lord’s, not mine; His blood alone can wash away The guilt and stains of inbred sin, And make me strong against “that day.”

There’s nothing, nothing I can do To earn his freely given grace; ’Tis his alone the work must be If e’er I see him face to face.

There is a fitness I must have That comes alone from Christ my Lord; He freely gives, while I receive By daily feeding on his Word.

I will to do his will, not mine; And in that will’s transforming power; ’Tis thus I grow to be like him, Who is my strong and mighty tower.
