We Two

I cannot do it alone;
      The waves run fast and high,
And the fogs close chill around,
      And the light goes out in the sky
But I know that we two shall win -
      In the end: Jesus and I.

I cannot row it myself -
     My boat on the raging sea.
But besides me sits Another,
     Who pulls or steers - with me.
And I know that we two shall come
     Safe into port: His child and He.

Coward, and wayward and weak,
     I change with the changing sky.
Today so eager and brave;
     Tomorrow, not caring to try;
But He never gives in - so we two
     Shall win - Jesus and I

Strong and tender and true,
     Crucified once for me!
Never will He change, I know,
     Whatever I may be.

But all He says I must do
     Ever from sin to keep free,
We shall finish our course and reach
     Home at last - His child and He.
