He

 

 

He may call the equipped

Or He may equip the called,

Whether before or after

He equips them all.

 

For a task He prepares them:

His task is to prepare

All them that are committed

To His loving care.

 

It is God that I speak of

I am sure that you knew,

It took me a while

Before I came to this view.

 

We bring nothing to Him

Other than ourselves,

There is absolutely nothing

We can take from our shelves.

 

This is to remind us

However bright we may feel,

On Him we totally depend,

To Him we must yield.

 

There is no failure in Him

Though we will often fail

And our failure occurs

Whenever we set our sail.

 

To set our sail is to determine

Where we will go

And we do so in ignorance

Since the way we don’t know.

 

 

He must set our sail

And He must steer our ship,

He knows the currents that are

And the tides that rip.

 

So, whatever we feel

About whatever we see,

He must remain in charge

Whatever may be.

 

He is our compass

And our rudder and power,

We must keep faith in Him

Each and every hour.

 

We will never arrive

Not ever in this life

But we have the Spirit’s deposit

To help in the strife.

 

He makes it possible

For the Three to be with us:

That is the Father and the Spirit

And the Son, Jesus.

 

With such infinite resources

We have the guarantee

That we can make it to the shore

And that, successfully.

 

So, whether you feel equipped

Or equipped you must be,

Just say yes to His call

And enroll for free.

 

He will take you on board

It is you He has called,

Just accept Him at His Word

And give Him your all.

 

Instant transformation will occur

And its continuance too

And you will find without doubt,

What he says is true.

 

He keeps His Word

He never ever takes it back,

He is absolutely reliable

And that is a fact.

 

Even when we are unfaithful

He is still faithful and true,

I have found Him to be so,

Haven’t you?
