"WE TWO"


       Today as I was cleaning out my drawer, I came upon this beautiful poem on a piece of paper  that I evidently saved some time ago.  I had cut it out from some article and it did not have any evidence who had written it.  Anyhow, here it is.

                 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.
