Unity in Jesus
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Everything I have is yours and everything you have is mine.
I have your word and mind and heart,
But Lord for me it’s just a start.
I obey you when you tell me: Go!
But stumble when you tell me: Slow!
When I start I want to finish;
But in my strength all power’s diminished.
So now I’ll have to wait a time,
Until in me your power is mine.
If I try to make the Root obey;
I know that I have gone astray.
You are the vine; I’m just a branch!
I’m nothing unless you advance!
