What We May & What We Do
by Abigail Fox
I say that I would die for Thee
But would I daily live?
And should my sorrow mirror Job’s
Would I thy praises give?
But would I daily live?
And should my sorrow mirror Job’s
Would I thy praises give?
I say that I would shout of Thee
In countries far from hand –
But would I dare like Jeremiah
To speak out in my land?
In countries far from hand –
But would I dare like Jeremiah
To speak out in my land?
I say that I would trust in Thee
Though all the world laughed long –
But would I build an ark like Noah
Against the currents strong?
Though all the world laughed long –
But would I build an ark like Noah
Against the currents strong?
I say that I would travel far
But would I dare stay still?
And face the world with Daniel’s strength
And say, “Such is God’s will”?
But would I dare stay still?
And face the world with Daniel’s strength
And say, “Such is God’s will”?
I say that I would wait on Thee
So patient and content –
But could I work as Jacob did
Till Laban did relent?
So patient and content –
But could I work as Jacob did
Till Laban did relent?
I say that I would follow Thee
Wherever I must roam –
But have I faith like Abraham
To face a place unknown?
Wherever I must roam –
But have I faith like Abraham
To face a place unknown?
I say that I would live for Thee
But would I gladly die?
As Moses did so long ago
With Canaan in his eye?
But would I gladly die?
As Moses did so long ago
With Canaan in his eye?
I say that I would ask of Thee
Just one thing, Lord, this day –
That you would give me grace and strength
To face what comes my way.
Just one thing, Lord, this day –
That you would give me grace and strength
To face what comes my way.
