WHAT CHRIST DOES.

By Gertrude E. M. Spiking

My life is full of sinfulness, My heart is full of sin; But Christ has promised me to bless— He’ll come and reign within.
My tongue is prone to evil speak, Deceitful things to say— Set Thou a watch before my lips, And Satan cannot stay.
My feet in crooked paths do stray; Entangled they become With all the briers and creeping vines Of sin that’s strewn among.
But Lord, Thy blessed Word shall be A lamp unto my feet; O, then I’ll walk with Thee below, And hold communion sweet.
My righteousness is filthy rags, Not fit for heavenly home; But Christ has come and made me clean; In garments white I’ll roam.
Gertrude E. M. Spiking. Rapid City, S. D.
