What I Need

 

I need a strength to keep me true

And straight in everything I do;

I need a power to keep me strong

When I am tempted to do wrong;

I need a grace to keep me pure

when passion tries its deadly lure;

I need a love to keep me sweet

When hardness and mistrust meet;

I need an arm to be my stay

 When dare with trouble grows my day;

And naught in each can these afford,

But all is found in Christ my Lord.

~ Theodore Horton
