"Exceeding Abundantly."

WHY am I weak, when Thou art strong,
And I might draw my strength from Thee?
Why am I poor, when Thou art rich,
Lord, who hast bought all good for me?
Hast Thou not taken on Thyself
All insufficiency of mine?
Then let me mine own self forget,
And take, and use each gift of Thine.
O work out all Thy will in me!
My inmost being, Lord, control,
That so my life may manifest
The risen Life, within my soul.
