There Is Power in God

By S. O. James

By S. O. James
O, half-hearted Christian, so used to transgressing, Complaining of God, and bemoaning your fate, Why not live in touch with the truth you're professing, Leave off your conjecture, have done with your guessing, And freely rejoice in your happy estate?
There is power in your God—just the power you are lacking; But in conflicts severe and temptations the most, When great hosts of evil you're nobly attacking, Remember all Heaven is pledged for your backing, If you are but willing to die at your post.
Then pray for the power that bringeth salvation; And while you are praying, believe you receive The precious anointing, the great transformation. With Christ in your heart, what a sweet revelation! No longer His good, tender Spirit you'll grieve.
Yes, cease to do evil, and never be frightened, Tho compassed about by the legions of hell; With conscience enlightened, the dark pathway brightened, And joy in His service continually heightened, You'll cease to do evil, and learn to do well.
